Question

What is the solution to the inequality? -3x < 24

Answer 1

x > -8

Explanation:

Divide both sides by -3 to get x by itself. Dividing by a negative number will switch the less-than symbol to a greater-than symbol. -3x ÷ -3 = x and 24 ÷ -3 = -8. When you put it all together, you get x > -8
