Okay seems like you need to find the numbers that are greater than 51

so it says solution set

x + 16 > 51
plug some numbers

so
45 + 16 > 51
61 > 51
so keep adding numbers to find a solution that is bigger than 51

Answer: Hello mate!

Here we want to see which numbers are a solution for our inequality, and let's find them all.

the inequality is:

x + 16 > 51

first, if we add o subtract the same number on both sides of the inequality, the inequality remains the same, then i can subtract 16 on both sides:

x + 16 - 16 > 51 - 16

x > 35

then the numbers that are a solution to this inequality are all of those that are smaller than 35.
