what is the solution set for -3x - 3 > -21

Question

x<-6
x<6
x>6
x>-6

Answer 1

To find the solution set for -3x - 3 > -21, we need to isolate x on one side of the inequality.

-3x - 3 > -21

First, we can add 3 to both sides of the inequality:

-3x > -21 + 3

-3x > -18

Next, we need to divide both sides of the inequality by -3. However, since we are dividing by a negative number, the inequality sign will flip.

x < -18/-3

x < 6

Therefore, the solution set for -3x - 3 > -21 is x < 6.
