In this problem, you want to solve for x. To start, add 3 to both sides to isolate the absolute value: l3 -6xl < 2 The absolute value brackets now disappear and you can subtract 3 from both sides: -6x < -1 This next step is the one that is harder to remember; in a normal equation you would simply divide both sides by -6 to solve for x, but since it is an inequality, you have to flip the sign whenever you divide by a negative. So when you divide both sides by -6, you now have: x > 1/6 Hope this helps :)
