   -6x + 5 > -1

   SUBTRACT 5 to BOTH SIDES

   -6x + 5 – 5 = -1 + 5

   CANCEL out: 5 – 5 because it gives you 0

   KEEP: -1 + 5 because it help solve for the x-value

   NEW EQUATION: -6x > -1 – 5

   SIMPLIFY IT!

   -6x > -6

   DIVIDE -6 to BOTH SIDES

   -6x/-6 > -6/-6

   CANCEL out: -6/-6 (on the LEFT SIDE) because it give you 1

   KEEP: -6/-6 because it gives you the

   x-value

   NEW EQUATION: x > -6/-6

   SIMPLIFY IT!

   x < 1

   Therefore, your answer is:

   Option B. x < 1

   Good luck on your assignment & enjoy your day!
