Hey there!
-6x + 5 > -1
SUBTRACT 5 to BOTH SIDES
-6x + 5 - 5 = -1 + 5
CANCEL out: 5 - 5 because it gives you 0
KEEP: -1 + 5 because it help solve for the x-value
NEW EQUATION: -6x > -1 - 5
SIMPLIFY IT!
-6x > -6
DIVIDE -6 to BOTH SIDES
-6x/-6 > -6/-6
CANCEL out: -6/-6 (on the LEFT SIDE) because it give you 1
KEEP: -6/-6 because it gives you the
x-value
NEW EQUATION: x > -6/-6
SIMPLIFY IT!
x < 1
Therefore, your answer is:
Option B. x < 1
Good luck on your assignment & enjoy your day!
