Look at the two equations:

-3x + 6 = 21
-3x + 6 < 21

Which statement best describes the process used to solve the equations?

O In both cases, subtract 6 from both sides, but reverse the inequality sign when doing that for the inequality

O In both cases, divide by -3 on both sides, but reverse the inequality sign when doing that for the inequality.

O The process is exactly the same for solving the equation and solving the inequality

O The process for solving the equation is entirely different from solving the inequality.​

you would use elimination to solve.
