    Approach the inequality like an equation.

    I'll do the two of them for you. You should be able to figure out the rest with this explanation:

    -3x ≤ 9

    Divide both sides by -3.

    Answer: x ≤ -3

    ---

    2x + 4 > x + 6

    subtract 4 from both sides, x from both sides.

    Answer: x > 2

    Be careful here. When you divide by a negative number, you have to FLIP the inequality sign. Look at the first one....

    -3x</= 9

    When you divide each side by neg 3......

    x>/= -3

    As for the rest: treat them like an equation. Isolate your variable (combining when needed), then do the rest like above.
