6-3x%3E=15 Start with the given inequality.


-3x%3E=15-6 Subtract 6 from both sides.


-3x%3E=9 Combine like terms on the right side.


x%3C=%289%29%2F%28-3%29 Divide both sides by -3 to isolate x. note: Remember, the inequality sign flips when we divide both sides by a negative number.


x%3C=-3 Reduce.
