Answer:

x > −1

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtract 3 From Both Sides:

−3x+3−3<6−3

−3x<3

Divide Both Sides By -3: ( / Is Fraction bar)

-3x / -3 < 3 / -3

= x>−1

Answer:

x > -1

Step-by-step explanation:

-3x +3 < 6

-3x < 6 - 3 (subtract 3 from both sides)

-3x < 3 (divide both sides by 3)

-x < 1 (multiply both sides by -1, remember to flip the inequality when multiplying both sides by negative numbers)

x > -1 (answer)
