-6x+5>-1

Subtract 5 from both sides.
Remember, a negative minus a negative is still negative.

-6x>-6

Divide both sides by -6.
Remember a negative divided by a negative is a positive, but when you divide by a negative, the sign will switch from x>1 to x<1

x<1
This is your answer. The 3rd in the list of answers.

Hope this helped!! :)

-6x + 5 > -1

-6x > -6

X < 1.

The inequality would be X < 1. Remember when dividing and or multiplying a fraction by a negative number the integer sign changes from < to > or > to <.
