we are given the following inequality:


6<-3k

To solve for "k" we will divide both sides by -3, since we are dividing by a negative number we will change the direction of the inequality sign, we get:


(6)/(-3)>-(3k)/(-3)

Solving the operations we get:


-2>k

Therefore, the solution is the numbers that are smaller than negative 2.
