Answer:

h < -1

Explanation:

We are given
(h)/(-1)+5 > 6

In order to solve this inequality, we have to isolate our variable h. To do that, the first step is to subtract 5 from both sides of the inequality:


(h)/(-1) > 1

The next step is to multiply both sides by -1. It is important to remember that when dealing with inequalities if you multiply or divide both sides by a negative number, you have to flip the sign:


h < -1

Notice how the sign became a less-than-sign.

Anyway, the answer is h < -1
