-d%2F3%3C6 Start with the given inequality



%283%29%28-d%2F3%29=%283%29%286%29 Multiply both sides by 3


-d=18 Multiply



d%3E%2818%29%2F%28-1%29 Divide both sides by -1 to isolate d (note: Remember, dividing both sides by a negative number flips the inequality sign)



d%3E-18 Divide

--------------------------------------------------------------
Answer:
So our answer is d%3E-18

-d%2F3+%3C+6+......multiply both sides by 3
%28-d%2F3%293+%3C+6%2A3+......
%28-d%2Fcross%283%29%29cross%283%29+%3C+18+......
-d+%3C+18+......divide both sides by -1....(recall: sign will change)
-d%28-1%29+%3C+18%28-1%29+......
d+%3E+-18......
