6-6x%3E1-5x Start with the given inequality.


-6x%3E1-5x-6 Subtract 6 from both sides.


-6x%2B5x%3E1-6 Add 5x to both sides.


-x%3E1-6 Combine like terms on the left side.


-x%3E-5 Combine like terms on the right side.


x%3C%28-5%29%2F%28-1%29 Divide both sides by -1 to isolate x. note: Remember, the inequality sign flips when we divide both sides by a negative number.


x%3C5 Reduce.
