Step-by-step explanation:

It is true!

Let's say we subtract 6 from both sides

-2x -6< 0                       Now Let's add 2x to both sides

-2x + 2x - 6 < 0 + 2x

- 6 < 2x                         We did so we would be dividing by a number greater than 0.                         Divide by + 2

-6/2 < 2x / 2

-3 < x                            Notice you still get the open end of the inequality sign closest to the x without changing the direction of the inequality.
