$x>7/2$

$-6x+3<-18$

Solve for $x$ as if the expression is an equality.

Subtract $3$ from both sides.

$-6x<-18-3$ =

$-6x<-21$

Divide both sides by $-6$ . This will reverse the inequality.

$x> (-21)/(-6)$ =

$x>21/6$

Factor $21/6$ .

$x>(3*7)/(3*2)$

Cancel $3$ .

$x>(cancel3*7)/(cancel3*2)$

$x>7/2$
