Training Guide: Multi-Step Inequality Solution for 6x<10x+19{}6x < 10x + 19

Imagine you are an operations assistant drafting a training manual for new hires at a logistics firm. You need to document how to solve the cost comparison inequality 6x<10x+19{}6x < 10x + 19, where xx represents the number of hours of service. Write a brief procedural guide explaining the complete, step-by-step mathematical process to solve this multi-step inequality. In your response, make sure to:

  1. Explain the first step of collecting the variable terms on the left side of the inequality, and state the resulting intermediate inequality.
  2. Recall and explain the specific algebraic rule that must be applied when dividing both sides by a negative number to isolate xx, and state the resulting inequality.
  3. State the final solution set using interval notation and briefly describe what this interval represents for the values of xx.
