x > –3
x < 3
x > 3

Answer 1

c is the correct answer just took a test with this question hope this helped

Answer 2

The final step in this inequality is to make x the subject. To do this, we divide both sides of the inequality by -2. Whenever we mulitply or divide by a negative number in an inequality, we must swtich the sign. So the inequality becomes -6/-2 > -2x/-2 which simplifies to x < 3. The third option is correct.Hope this helps. Let me know if you need additional help!
