This can be solved in steps!

1. Subtract 15 from both sides

15 + 3x < -3

→ 3x < -18

2. Divide both sides by 3

3x < 18

→ x < 6

3. Switch signs (since we divided)

x < 6

→ x > 6

4. Answer Recap

Our answer is:

→ x > 6

On a number line, this would be graphed by plotting a point at 6 (with a closed circle) and drawing an arrow that goes to the right showing that the unknown value is greater than 6.
