+5478 First. write this scenario into an inequality:
x/-6 > 3
Now multiply both sides by -6.
x < 3 * -6
(The inequality symbol is flipped because you are dividing by a negative number).
x < -18, so it would be the third choice.
To check, you can plug in a number less than -18 for x, such as -19.
$${\mathtt{\,-\,}}{\frac{{\mathtt{19}}}{-{\mathtt{6}}}} = {\frac{{\mathtt{19}}}{{\mathtt{6}}}} = {\mathtt{3.166\: \!666\: \!666\: \!666\: \!666\: \!7}}$$
3.16666... is greater than 3, so the answer is correct.
