Question

Solve for x

3x + 3 − x + (−7) > 6



A. x > 5
B. x > 2.5
C. x < 5
D. x > (−5)

Answer 1

3x+3-x-7>6
2x+3-7>6
2x-4>6
2x>10
x>5

Final answer: A

Answer 2

3x + 3 - x + (-7) > 6

Add like terms.

(3x - x) + (3 - 7) > 6

Simplify.

2x - 4 > 6

Add 4 to both sides.

2x > 6 + 4

Simplify.

2x > 10

Divide both sides by 2.

x > 5

A) x > 5
