Answer:

D) x > –7

Step-by-step explanation:

–3x – 6 < 15

Add 6 to each side

–3x – 6+6 < 15+6

-3x < 21

Divide each side by -3, remembering to flip the inequality

-3x/-3 > 21/-3

x >-7

Answer:

Option D, x > -7

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:  Add 6 to both sides

-3x - 6 + 6 < 15 + 6

-3x < 21

Step 2:  Divide both sides by -3

-3x / -3 < 21 / -3

Since you divided by a negative, you need to flip the sign

x > -7

Answer:  Option D, x > -7
