Solve for x: −3x + 3 < 6
-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: \(x \ \textgreater \ \frac{3}{-3}\)
Fourth, simplify \(\frac{3}{-3}\) to \(- \frac{3}{3}\) / Your problem should look like: \(x \ \textgreater \ -\frac{3}{3}\)
Fifth, cancel 3. / Your problem should look like: \(x \ \textgreater \ -1\)
Answer: \(x \ \textgreater \ -1\)
−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
