When setting up an inequality, using the key words from the problem will help. The word 'difference' would indicate subtraction and 'less than' would be the '<' inequality sign. Since the expression is 'the difference of a number and -6', we write:

n - (-6) < 9

Whenever we subtract a negative number, we change both signs to positive:

n + 6 < 9

Using inverse operations to solve: n + 6 - 6 < 9 - 6

n < 3

Answer:

x = 6/3y+1

Step-by-step explanation:

x+3xy=6

Step 1: Factor out variable x.

x(3y+1)=6

Step 2: Divide both sides by 3y+1.

x(3y+1) / 3y+1

so x = 6/3y+1
