Marley Kent · Answer 1

C. Divide both sides of the equation by 23

Lily Huffman · Answer 2

In both cases, divide by - 3 on both sides, but reverse the inequality sign when doing that for the inequality

Step-by-step explanation:

-3x+6=21

-3x+6<21

While solving inequalities, reverse the inequality symbol when we divide or multiply by any negative number

In the first step, we subtract 6 from both sides in both cases

But when we divide by - 3 on both sides, but reverse the inequality sign when doing for the inequality.
