In solving the inequality -3 x < 9, you would divide both sides of the inequality by -3 and flip over the inequality symbol.

This is true.

To isolate the x variable, you would remove the coefficient of -3 by dividing both sides of the inequality by -3.

When dividing by a negative number, you must flip the inequality sign.

In this case, x would be greater than -3.
