Question

Given: 3x < -6.

Choose the solution set.

Answer 1

You want to isolate the variable using the division property of inequality:
3x / 3 < -6 / 3 = x < -2. The sign of the inequality stays the same since you did not change the order of the inequality nor did you divide by a negative number on both sides. Hopefully this helps!

Answer 2

The required answer is
`x < -2`.

Explanation:

Consider the provided inequality

`3x<-6`

Divide both side by 3.

`3x<-6`

`x<(-6)/(3)`

`x<-2`

The sign of inequality will remain same.

Therefore, the required answer for the provided inequality is
`x < -2`.
