its actually really simple. x/3 + 6> 14 , or rather, x divided by 3 + 6 is greater than 14

Remark

You sure do have to read that a couple of times.

The quotient is an answer after a division takes place So you are dividing x/3

When you have figured out that phrase you add six onto it.

(x/3) + 6 > 14 Subtract 6 from both sides.

(x/3) +6 - 6 > 14 - 6

(x/3) > 8 Now multiply by 3

x > 8*3

x > 24 <<<<<< Answer
