NEED IT FAST PLZ

Look at the two equations: ( look at picture is you don't understand)
-3x + 6 = 21
-3x + 6 < 21
Which statement best describes the process used to solve the equations?
A.) In both cases, subtract 6 from both sides, but reverse the inequality sign when doing that for the inequality.
B.) In both cases, divide by -3 on both sides, but reverse the inequality sign when doing that for the inequality.
C.) The process is exactly the same for solving the equation and solving the inequality.
D.)The process for solving the equation is entirely different from solving the inequality.​

Answer:

I believe it's A) "In both cases, subtract 6 from both sides, but reverse the inequality sign when doing that for the inequality."

Explanation:

I say this because that's essentially the first step when solving both an equation and inequality.

(In case you were wondering, the next step would be to divide -3 on both sides, in order to get x by its self.)

Hope this helps :)
