The inequality to solve is:


-3<-3\mleft(2x-1\mright)

We distribute in Right-Hand-Side and solve the inequality normally as an equation. The process is shown below:


\begin{gathered} -3<-6x+3 \\ 6x<3+3 \\ 6x<6 \\ x<(6)/(6) \\ x<1 \end{gathered}

Thus, the correct answer is x < 1

We can say Option C is right, with x < 1
