Answer:


x >(3)/(2)

Explanation:

The complete question is

Three times the sum of a number and two is less than seven times the number. Find the number

Let

x -----> the number

we know that

The linear equation that represent this problem is


3(x+2) < 7x

Solve for x

Apply distributive property left side


3x+6 < 7x

Subtract 3x both sides


6 < 7x-3x


6 < 4x

Divide by 4 both sides


(6)/(4)< x

Simplify


(3)/(2)< x

Rewrite


x >(3)/(2)
