Question

Solve for x: −3x + 3 < 6

a
x > −1

b
x < −1

c
x < −3

d
x > −3

Answer 1

Subtract 3 from both sides, and you’re left with -3x on the left. From there you can divide both sides by -3.

*important* since you’re dividing by a negative number, the direction of the inequality sign reverses.
