Answer 1

Option 4

Multiply each side by 3

Solution:

Given that,

`(x)/(3) < -2`

Remember that,

When we multiply or divide or add or subtract same number on both sides of inequality, the inequality still remains true

Multiply each side by 3

`(x)/(3) * 3 < -2 * 3\\\\Simplify\\\\x < -6`

Thus, Multiply each side by 3 is correct
