Answer:


x > -3

Explanation:

Isolate the variable. Treat the < sign like an equal sign, in that what you do to one side, you do to the other.

Do the opposite of PEMDAS. PEMDAS is the order of operations, and stands for:

Parenthesis

Exponents (& Roots)

Multiplications

Divisions

Additions

Subtractions

First, subtract 60 from both sides of the equation:

-15x + 60 (-60) < 105 (-60)

-15x < 45

Next, divide -15 from both sides of the equation. Note that when you multiply or divide a negative number, you must flip the sign:

(-15x)/-15 < (45)/-15

x < 45/(-15)

x > -3


x > -3 is your answer.
