Question

6) Solve and graph on the number
line: 3(x + 2) > 5x + 18
nd

Answer 1

-6 > x

Explanation:

3(x + 2) > 5x + 18

Distribute

3(x + 2) > 5x + 18

3x+6 > 5x+18

Subtract 3x from each side

3x+6 -3x > 5x-3x+18

6 > 2x+18

Subtract 18 from each side

6-18 > 2x+18-18

-12 > 2x

Divide each side by 2

-12/2 > -2x/2

-6 > x
