Hii!

___________________________________________________________

Answer:

Explanation:

To solve the inequality, we will divide both sides by -3. Upon doing this we obtain


\boldsymbol{x > -18}

NB: The sign of the inequality changes every time we divide, or multiply, both sides by a negative number.

NB2: The x's greater than -18 (like -17, -16, etc.) will satisfy this inequality and make it a true statement.

Hope that this helped! Best wishes.
