Step 1.1

Subtract $x$ from both sides of the inequality.

$- y < 6 - x$

Step 1.2

Divide each term in $- y < 6 - x$ by $- 1$ and simplify.

Step 1.2.1

Divide each term in $- y < 6 - x$ by $- 1$ . When multiplying or dividing both sides of an inequality by a negative value, flip the direction of the inequality sign.

$\frac{- y}{- 1} > \frac{6}{- 1} + \frac{- x}{- 1}$

Step 1.2.2

Simplify the left side.

Step 1.2.2.1

Dividing two negative values results in a positive value.

$\frac{y}{1} > \frac{6}{- 1} + \frac{- x}{- 1}$

Step 1.2.2.2

Divide $y$ by $1$ .

$y > \frac{6}{- 1} + \frac{- x}{- 1}$

Step 1.2.3

Simplify the right side.

Step 1.2.3.1.1

Divide $6$ by $- 1$ .

$y > - 6 + \frac{- x}{- 1}$

Step 1.2.3.1.2

Dividing two negative values results in a positive value.

$y > - 6 + \frac{x}{1}$

Step 1.2.3.1.3

Divide $x$ by $1$ .

$y > - 6 + x$

Step 2

Subtract $2 x$ from both sides of the inequality.

$y < 6 - 2 x$

Step 3

Find the intersection of $y > - 6 + x$ and $y < 6 - 2 x$ .

$- 6 + x < y < 6 - 2 x$
