Question

Solve the inequality for x.
- 11 > 6x + 1
Simplify your answer as much as possible.

Answer 1

To solve the inequality \(-11 > 6x + 1\), we can follow these steps:

1. **Subtract 1 from both sides**:
\[
-11 - 1 > 6x
\]
This simplifies to:
\[
-12 > 6x
\]

2. **Divide both sides by 6**:
\[
\frac{-12}{6} > x
\]
This simplifies to:
\[
-2 > x
\]
or, equivalently,
\[
x < -2
\]

Thus, the solution to the inequality is:
\[
x < -2
\]
