Question

What is the solution set for this inequality? −6x+30<−18

x<−2
x>−2
x<8 8
x>8

Answer 1

x > 8

Explanation:

Subtract 30 from each side

-6x+30-30<-18-30

Simplify

-6x<-48

Multiply each side by 1

(-1)(-6x) < (-48)(-1)

Simplify

6x<48

Divide each side by 6

6x/6 < 48/6

Simplify

x>8
