1-6d%3Cd%2B8 Start with the given inequality


-6d%3Cd%2B8-1Subtract 1 from both sides


-6d-d%3C8-1 Subtract d from both sides


-7d%3C8-1 Combine like terms on the left side


-7d%3C7 Combine like terms on the right side


d%3E%287%29%2F%28-7%29 Divide both sides by -7 to isolate d (note: Remember, dividing both sides by a negative number flips the inequality sign)



d%3E-1 Divide

--------------------------------------------------------------
Answer:
So our answer is d%3E-1
