Question

Solve for x: −3x + 3 < 6

Answer 1

−3x+3<6

Subtract 3 from both sides.

−3x+3−3<6−3

−3x<3

Divide both sides by -3.

−3x−3<3−3

x>−1

Answer 2

-3x + 3 < 6

First, subtract 3 from both sides. / Your problem should look like:
`-3x \ \textless \ 6 - 3`
Second, subtract 6 - 3 to get 3. / Your problem should look like:
`-3x \ \textless \ 3`
Third, divide both sides by -3. / Your problem should look like:
`x \ \textgreater \ (3)/(-3)`
Fourth, simplify
`(3)/(-3)` to
`- (3)/(3)` / Your problem should look like:
`x \ \textgreater \ -(3)/(3)`
Fifth, cancel 3. / Your problem should look like:
`x \ \textgreater \ -1`

Answer:
`x \ \textgreater \ -1`
