Solve the following inequality: –1 + 6(–1 – 3x) > –39 – 2x.

–1 + 6(–1 – 3x) > –39 – 2x.
Multiply the number outside of the parenthesis(6) by the numbers inside of the parenthesis(-1 and -3x)
-1 - 6 - 18x> -39 - 2x
Add 2x to both sides so that the x variable is only on one side
-1 - 6 - 16x> -39
Add 1 to both sides
-6 - 16x> -38
Add 6 to both sides
-16x> -32
Divide both sides by -16 so that the only thing that remains is the variable x on one side. Also, since you are dividing by a negative number, you automatically flip the greater than side to less than.
Final x< -2
