Please solve 4-6x GREATER THAN -15 + 1. I believe the answer is x LESS THAN 3. Is this correct?
-6x+3<-15
4-6x > -15+1
4-6x > -14
-6x > -18
x < 3
Looks good to me.
To solve the inequality 4 - 6x > -15 + 1, follow these steps:
1. Combine like terms on both sides of the inequality:
-6x + 4 > -14
2. Subtract 4 from both sides of the inequality:
-6x > -14 - 4
-6x > -18
3. Divide both sides of the inequality by -6. Remember that dividing by a negative number flips the inequality sign:
x < -18 / -6
x < 3
So, the correct answer is x < 3, not x > 3 as you mentioned. Therefore, your statement that x is less than 3 is correct.
