Question
----------------------------------------
-1 + 6(-1- 3x) > -39 - 2x
----------------------------------------
Remove bracket
----------------------------------------
-1 -6 - 18x > -39 - 2x
-7 - 18x > -39 - 2x
----------------------------------------
Add 18x to both sides
----------------------------------------
-7 - 18x + 18x > -39 - 2x + 18x
-7 > -39 + 16x
----------------------------------------
Add 39 to both sides
----------------------------------------
-7 + 39 > -39 + 16x + 39
32 > 16x
----------------------------------------
Divide by 16 on both sides
----------------------------------------
32 ÷ 16 > 16x ÷ 16
2 > x
----------------------------------------

----------------------------------------
x < 2 ← Remember to take facing of the sign with x when you flip side
----------------------------------------
Answer x < 2
