3 (2x+4)>4x+10
Use distributive property(Multiply 3 by 2x and 4)
6x + 12>4x + 10
Subtract 4x from both sides so that the variable x is only on one side of the equation.
2x + 12>10
Subtract 12 from both sides
2x> -2
Divide 2 on both sides so that the only thing remaining on the left side is the variable x.
Final Answer: x> -1

3 (2x + 4) > 4x + 10 Use the Distributive Property
6x + 12 > 4x + 10 Subtract 4x from both sides
2x + 12 > 10 Subtract 12 from both sides
2x > -2 Divide both sides by 2
x > -1
