Question

What is the solution to the inequality?

−9x−15<3

Answer 1

−9x−15<3
Add 15 to both sides
-9x<18
Divide -9 on both sides while flipping the inequality sign
Final Answer: x > -2

Answer 2

The solution is x>-2

Explanation:

Given : Expression
`-9x-15<3`

To solve : The inequality

Solution :

Step 1 - Write the expression

`-9x-15<3`

Step 2- Add -15 both sides

`-9x-15+15<3+15`

`-9x<18`

Step 3- Divide the expression with 9 both side

`-(9x)/(9)<(18)/(9)`

`-x<2`

Step 4- Multiply -1 both side (when we multiply negative sign then the inequality change)

`-x(-1)<2(-1)`

`x>-2`

Therefore, the solution is x>-2
