Question 516454: 6(x-5)>-3(x+1)
Answer by gc2000(22)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! treat inequalities the same as equations, except when multiplying or dividing both sides by a negative number, in those cases the greater/less than type signs will switch.
6(x-5)>-3(x+1)
6x - 30 > -3x - 3
{add 30 to both sides}
6x > -3x +27
{add 3x to both sides}
9x > 27
{divide both sides by 9; note that the sign doesn't flip because 9 is not negative}
Answer: x > 9
