-3%282x%2B3%29%3E27 Start with the given inequality.


-6x-9%3E27 Distribute.


-6x%3E27%2B9 Add 9 to both sides.


-6x%3E36 Combine like terms on the right side.


x%3C%2836%29%2F%28-6%29 Divide both sides by -6 to isolate x. note: Remember, the inequality sign flips when we divide both sides by a negative number.


x%3C-6 Reduce.
