#x>(-6)#

All you have to do is keep in mind that if you multiply and/or divide by a negative number the sign needs to be flipped.

#15x+5>10x-25#

First, subtract 5 from both sides of the equation.

#15x>10x-30#

Now, subtract 10x both sides of the equation.

#5x>(-30)#

Finally, divide both sides of the equation by 5.

#x>(-6)#
