Answer:

x > - 3

Explanation:

6(x + 2) > x - 3 ← distribute parenthesis on left side

6x + 12 > x - 3 ( subtract x from both sides )

5x + 12 > - 3 ( subtract 12 from both sides )

5x > - 15 ( divide both sides by 5 )

x > - 3

\textbf{Heya !}


\bigstar\textsf{Given:-}


  • \sf{6(x+2) > x-3}


\bigstar\textsf{To\quad find:-}

  • x -- ?


\bigstar\textsf{Solution \quad Steps:-}

use the distributive property


\sf{\longmapsto 6x+12 < x-3}

subtract both sides by x and 12


\sf{\longmapsto{5x < -15}

divide both sides by 5


\sf{\longmapsto x < -3}}

`hope it's helpful to u ~
