Hey there!

-6x + 5 > -1

SUBTRACT 5 to BOTH SIDES

-6x + 5 - 5 = -1 + 5


CANCEL out: 5 - 5 because it gives you 0


KEEP: -1 + 5 because it help solve for the x-value


NEW EQUATION: -6x > -1 - 5


SIMPLIFY IT!

-6x > -6


DIVIDE -6 to BOTH SIDES

-6x/-6 > -6/-6


CANCEL out: -6/-6 (on the LEFT SIDE) because it give you 1

KEEP: -6/-6 because it gives you the

x-value


NEW EQUATION: x > -6/-6


SIMPLIFY IT!

x < 1


Therefore, your answer is:

Option B. x < 1


Good luck on your assignment & enjoy your day!
