Question

Solve for x: −3x + 3 < 6 (2 points)

x > −1

x < −1

x < −3

x > −3

Answer 1

-3x + 3 < 6 subtract 3 from both sides

-3x < 3 change the signs

3x > -3 divide both sides by 3

x > -1

Answer 2

x > −1

Explanation:

−3x + 3 < 6

Subtract 3 from each side

-3x+3-3 <6-3

-3x <3

Divide by -3. Remember that when you multiply or divide by a negative, you flip the inequality.

-3x/-3 > 3/-3

x >-1
