Answer:

x>-1

Explanation:

-3x+3<6

Step 1 is to combine like terms:

so you have to subtract 3 from both sides.

So your answer should look like this so far:

-3x<6-3

6-3 is 3 so the equation should look like this so far:

-3x<3

Remember: when you divide by a negative you flip the signs.

So for example, if your sign is: < it would be >

And if your sign is: > it would be <

So

-3x<3

would equal:

x>-1
