Question

−3x − 42 >3 please solve this

Answer 1

x > -15

Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the greater than sign from both sides of the inequality :

-3*x-42-(3)<0

Pull out like factors :

-3x - 45 = -3 • (x + 15)

Divide both sides by -3

Remember to flip the inequality sign:

Subtract 15 from both sides

x > -15

Answer 2

x < - 15

Explanation:

Given

- 3x - 42 > 3 ( add 42 to both sides )

- 3x > 45

Divide both sides by - 3, reversing the symbol as a result of dividing by a negative quantity.

x < - 15
