Add 6 to both sides and what do you get
OpenStudy (tylerchifan316):
After that, Multiply both sides by -1 and that is your answer

OpenStudy (abbycross167):
when I need to add 6 to both sides would it be...
-6+6 – x > 7+6?

Nope after you add six to both sides it becomes
- x > 15
After this you multiply both sides by negative 1
OpenStudy (abbycross167):
oh okay
OpenStudy (tylerchifan316):
So what do you get for your answer?
OpenStudy (abbycross167):
so then it'll be -x*-1>15*-1
and that equals x > -13 ?

x > -15. Nothing changes except the negative sign
OpenStudy (abbycross167):
@tylerchifan316 what do you mean?
OpenStudy (tylerchifan316):
If you multiply - 1 to each side of - x > 15, nothing changes except the negative sign. It moves from behind the x, to in front of the 15. So now your answer is x > -15
OpenStudy (abbycross167):
oh than I think we did something wrong because these are my answers
a. x > -13
b. x < 13
c. x < -13
d. x > 13
OpenStudy (tylerchifan316):
The answer is A. I was reading it wrong i put 8 in for 6 sorry about that
