-5%3E=x-6 Start with the given inequality



0%3E=x-6%2B5Add 5 to both sides


-x%3E=-6%2B5 Subtract x from both sides


-x%3E=-1 Combine like terms on the right side


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



x%3C=1 Divide

--------------------------------------------------------------
Answer:
So our answer is x%3C=1
