✺ Divide both sides by −3. Since −3 is negative, the inequality direction is changed:
- -3 ÷ -3 = Cancels Out
- Turns into:
✺ Divide −9 by −3 to get 3. Since they are both negatives it turns into a positive:
- -9 ÷ -3 = 3
- Turns into:
✺ Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side. This changes the sign direction once more:
- Turns into:
✺ Add 2 to both sides:
- Turns into:
✺ Add 3 and 2 to get 5:
- 3 + 2 = 5
- Turns into:
✺ Divide both sides by 5. Since 5 is positive, the inequality direction remains the same:
- 5 ÷ 5 = Cancels Out
- Turns into:
✺ Divide 5 by 5 to get 1:
- 5 ÷ 5 = 1
