Does your problem look like this: %283x-2%29%2F-5%3E6

If so, then....


%283x-2%29%2F-5%3E6 Start with the given inequality


3x-2%3C-30 Multiply both sides by -6 (note: multiplying by both sides by a negative number flips the inequality sign)



3x%3C-28 Add 2 to both sides


x%3C-28%2F3 Divide both sides by 3
