Hello!

To solve this you solve it like an algebraic equation

-3x+6 < -18

subtract 6 from both sides

-3x<-24

Divide both sides by negative 3
If you divide by a negative number you flip the sign.

x > 8

So the answer is 8 < x < infinity

This is because the answers can be any number above 8

Hope this helps!
