3 + (1/4)x > 11
First, subtract three from both sides.
3 + (1/4)x - 3 > 11-3
Then, simplify:
(1/4)x > 8
Next, to isolate x, divide both sides by 1/4
(1/4)x/(1/4) > 8/(1/4)
Dividing by a fraction is the same thing as multiplying by the reciprocal
(1/4)x * (4/1) > 8 *(4/1)
Finally, simplify:
(1*4/4*1)x >(8*4/1*1)
(4/4)x > 32/1
x >32
The answer is x is greater than 32. Hope this helps!
