Answer:

The correct answer is x = 12

Explanation:

First Multiply the parenthesis.

-1 + 6 (-1-3x) > - 39 - 2x

-1 - 6 -18x > -39 - 2x

Now Start on the left side

-1 - 6 = -7

-7 - 18x > -39 - 2x

Move the terms to the same side

-7 - 18x + 2x > -39

-18x + 2x > -39 + 7

-16x > -32

Now divide both sides of the equation by -16

You will get x = 2
