Question 107283


Six times a number is less than {{{-18}}}

if you have: {{{six}}}{{{ times}}}{{{a}}}{{{number}}}
you can use symbol {{{x}}} for that number and write it as
{{{6x}}}

then, you know that {{{6x}}} is less then {{{-18}}}

so, you can put it all together and write an inequality this way:

{{{6x < -18}}}

now you can solve it:

{{{6x < -18}}}.............divide both sides by {{{6}}}

{{{6x/6 < -(18/6)}}}

{{{x < -3}}}
