what is the solution to the inequality -3x-42>3?

-3x-42 > 3.

 

Add 42 on both sides of the inequality to get -3x > 45. Dividing both sides by -3, we get x < -15.

 

Remember that when dividing or multiplying by a negative number in inequalities, one must always switch the signs.

 

hope this helps,
