-6(x - 5) > 42
Simplify.
-6x + 30 > 42
We are simply just trying to get x by itself.
So, subtract 30 from both sides.
-6x > 42 - 30
Simplify.
-6x > 12
Then, divide both sides by -6.
Remember! : When dividing by a negative number, you must switch the signs. So, > → < and < → > :))
-6x ÷ -6 > 12 ÷ -6
Simplify.
x < -2
