We had the expression:

-3x + 3 < 6

Subtracting 3 on both sides:

-3x + 3 - 3 < 6 - 3

-3x < 3

Dividing by -3, we get:


\begin{gathered} (-3x)/(-3)>(3)/(-3) \\ x\text{ > }-1 \end{gathered}

It is necessary to note that when we divide or multiply by a negative number, the symbol of the inequation change.

So, x > - 1
