-a/3 <= -2.

Multiply both sides of the inequality by 3 to get:

-a <= -6.

You then need to multiply both sides by -1 to get an expression for a, this reverses the "less than" part (think about it logically).

a >= 6.

To check this, try a=7

-7/3 <= -2.

Which is true. :)

-a/3<=-2
(3)-a/3<=-2(3) multiply boyh side by 3
-a<=-6
-a/-1<=-6/-1 divide both side by a negative 1
a>=6 reverse the inequality sign

-a/3 and -2
-2 = -6/3
-a/3 and -6/3
Ans : -a/3 > -6/3
U can multiple both
sides with 3 and
Ans : -a > -6

So, If a is a whole number, a probably can be
(Positive numbers) 1,2,3,4,5,0
(Negative numbers) all numbers (eg. -1,-3,-12)
Examples......................
1) a is 5
-a > -6
-(5)>-6
-5 > -6

2) a is -7
-a > -6
-(-7) > -6
7 > -6
