x>-6


\rightsquigarrow\circ\boldsymbol{Explanation}\circ\leftharpoonup

Let's find the value of x in this inequality!

Remember, to find the value of a variable, we need to get that variable all by itself on one side of the equation.

Here all we need to do is divide both sides by -6.


\twoheadrightarrow\sf -6x/(-6) < 36/(-6)


\bullet Simplify


\twoheadrightarrow\sf x > -6


\bullet Note that the inequaiity sign changed. This happens everytime we divide, or multiply, both sides by a negative variable.

\therefore, the\;answer\;is:\\\\\twoheadrightarrow\sf x > -6


\bullet Great job! We solved the inequality.
