Answer:

x > -3

Explanation:

This is an inequality, but it can be treated like a normal algebraic equation. You just need to isolate the variable. Here's a step-by-step:

3(x + 2) > x

Distribute the 3:

3*x + 3*2 > x

3x + 6 > x

Move the x to the right:

3x -x + 6 > x-x

2x + 6 > 0

Now, isolate the x by subtracting 6 from both sides:

2x + 6 - 6 > 0 -6

2x > -6

Finally, divide by the coefficient (2):

2x/2 > -6/2

x > -3
