1 - x>4=

-9>x-6=

1. 2x+3<-3 = x<-3

You get this by subtracting 3 from both sides, which gives you - 6. Then divide 2 from both sides.

2. - 3x2

You divide - 3 from both sides. You must switch the sign because any time you multiply or divide a negative integer from both sides of an inequality the sign is switched.

3. - 5x1

See number 2

4. 5-2x-3

Subtract 5 from both sides to get - 2x<6. Then, divide both sides by - 2 and switch the sign.

5. x+2<5 = x<3

Subtract 2 from both sides

6. 2-3x-1

Subtract 2 from both sides to get - 3x<3. Then, divide - 3 from both sides and switch the sign.
