Rewrite the inequality so the variable appears on the left.

Question

Rewrite the inequality  so the variable appears on the left.

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To rewrite the inequality with the variable on the left, we need to subtract x from both sides. This gives us:

-3x > 9

Dividing both sides by -3 (and flipping the inequality because we're dividing by a negative number) gives:

x < -3

So the rewritten inequality is:

x < -3

Choice B is the closest to this answer, as it also has x on the left side. Choice A doesn't have x at all, so it's not a valid answer.
