-6-6%285x-6%29%3E-6%285%2B3x%29 Start with the given inequality.


-6-30x%2B36%3E-30-18x Distribute.


-30x%2B30%3E-30-18x Combine like terms on the left side.


-30x%3E-30-18x-30 Subtract 30 from both sides.


-30x%2B18x%3E-30-30 Add 18x to both sides.


-12x%3E-30-30 Combine like terms on the left side.


-12x%3E-60 Combine like terms on the right side.


x%3C%28-60%29%2F%28-12%29 Divide both sides by -12 to isolate x. note: Remember, the inequality sign flips when we divide both sides by a negative number.


x%3C5 Reduce.
