Question

Solve this inequality. Show your work
7 + 2 > 42 − 3x

Answer 1

x > 11

Explanation:

7 + 2 > 42 − 3x

9 > 42 - 3x

Add 3x to both sides of the inequality:

9 + 3x > 42 - 3x + 3x

9 + 3x > 42

Subtract 9 on both sides:

9 + 3x - 9 > 42 - 9

3x > 33

Divide both sides by 3:

`(3x)/(3) > (33)/(3)`

x > 11
