This question is from textbook introductory algebra

You can put this solution on YOUR website! 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!
