Solve this problem as you would an equality problem. The only difference is that if you have to MULTIPLY or DIVIDE by a negative number, then you have to change the direction of the inequality:
So.....
6 < -m/3. Multiply both sides by 3:
18 < -m. Now multiply both sides by (-1) to solve for x:
-18 > m. We changed the direction of the arrow because we multiplied by a negative.
This can also be written as m < -18.
That’s it!
Good luck!
