Question

Can someone please show me the steps to this question? Please
Solve -6 – x > 7

Answer 1

Well this is an inequality, we would need to first isolate x. how do you think we can do this?

-6-x > 7

Answer 2

-x>6-7? like this?

Answer 3

We can also do this. we can add 6 to both sides. to get 13.

then we get -x > 13

-x > 13
-1 -1

What we do now is simple. we divide both sides by -1 and If I remember correctly, whenever you divide by a negative number you need to switch the sign of the inequality

x < 13

Answer 4

So when I add 6 to both sides it'll look like this
-6+6 – x > 7+6?
