Question

2(x-3)+5>39


Please explain how to get it!

Answer 1

x > 20

Explanation:

You would firstly remove the parentheses, (2x - 6 + 5 > 39)

Then calculate to get 2x - 1 > 39

Move the constant to the right, and you'd get 2x > 39 + 1

Add 2 for 2x > 40

Then you'd divide both sides for x > 20

Sorry for the late response, took me a while.
