Answer:
x < -14
Explanation:
To solve the inequality, we have to get x by itself. Perform the opposite of what is being done to the inequality. Keep in mind, everything done to one side, has to be done to the other.
–3x + 6 > 48
6 is being added onto -3x. The opposite of addition is subtraction. Subtract 6 from both sides.
–3x + 6 -6> 48-6
–3x > 48-6
–3x > 42
x is being multiplied by -3. The opposite of multiplication is division. Divide both sides by -3.
-3x/-3> 42/-3
x > 42/-3
Since we divided by a negative, we have to flip the inequality sign.
x> 42/-3-->x<42/-3
x<42/-3
x < -14
