Given: -6x < 36. Choose the solution set. {x | x < -6} {x | x > 6} {x | x > -6} {x | x < 6}.
grin007 [14]

The correct answer is this inequality {x | x > -6}

What does a math inequality look like?

The equation-like form of the formula 5x 4 > 2x + 3 has an arrowhead in place of the equals sign. It is an illustration of inequity. This shows that the left half, 5x 4, is bigger than the right part, 2x + 3.

Given that:

-6x < 36

we multiply -1 on both the sides

6x > -36

divide 6 on both the side

x > -6

Hence the correct answer is this inequality {x | x > -6}.
