Explanation:

Subtract by 5 both sides of an equation.


-6x+5-5>-1-5

Then, simplify.


-6x>-6

Change the sign to less than.

Multiply by the -1 both sides of an equation. it can also reverse inequality.


(-6x)(-1)<(-6)(-1)

Simplify.


6x<6

Then you divide by 6 both sides of an equation.

6x/6<6/6

Finally, simplify dividing into the numbers.


6/6=1


\boxed{D. x<1}

Hope this helps!

Thanks!

Have a great day!

-6x+5 > -1\qquad\text{subtract 5 from both sides}\\\\-6x > -6\qquad\text{change the signs}\\\\6x < 6\qquad\text{divide both sides by 6}\\\\x < 1\to\boxed{D.}
