<span>–1 + 6(–1 – 3x) > –39 – 2x. Multiply the number outside of the parenthesis(6) by the numbers inside of the parenthesis(-1 and -3x) -1 - 6 - 18x> -39 - 2x Add 2x to both sides so that the x variable is only on one side -1 - 6 - 16x> -39 Add 1 to both sides -6 - 16x> -38 Add 6 to both sides -16x> -32 Divide both sides by -16 so that the only thing that remains is the variable x on one side. Also, since you are dividing by a negative number, you automatically flip the greater than side to less than. Final Answer: x< -2</span>
