Step-by-step explanation:
First solve this like a normal equation:
-3x - 6 > 9
Add 6 to both sides:
-3x > 9 + 6
-3x > 15
Divide by -3 and remember to switch the inequality sign:
x < 15/(-3)
x < -5
Think about the graph of x = -5. It's a vertical line crossing the y-axis at x = -5. Now, we have x is less than -5. That means all the values less than -5 should be viable solutions. So, shade the part of the graph to the left of the vertical line.
Also, since we have x < -5 and not x ≤ -5, the line should be dotted.
