A

x<3x < -3

B

x>3x > -3

C

x<3x < 3

D

x>3x > 3

Correct Answer: A

Choice A is the correct answer. Solve carefully.

  1. Subtract 5: 2x>6-2x > 6
  2. Divide by -2: x<3x < -3 (flip the sign!)

💡 Strategic Tip: Always flip when dividing by negative.

Choice B is incorrect because forgot to flip. Choice C is incorrect because wrong value. Choice D is incorrect because wrong value and direction.
