Question

Solve for x. −6>−30−4x−6>−30-4x enter the inequality in the first box.

Answer 1

If you would like to solve -6 > -30 - 4x for x, you can do this using the following steps:

-6 > -30 - 4x
4x > -30 + 6
4x > -24      /4
x > -24/4
x > -6

The correct result would be x > -6.

Answer 2

-6>-30-4x
Add 30 to both sides.
24>-4x
Divide by -4 on both sides. If you divide or mutiply by a negative, the inequality sign switches.
24/-4<-4x/-4
-6<x
x>-6

${\boxed{x\ \textgreater \ -6}$
