Question

The sum of three times a number and seven is greater than twice the number -4

Answer 1

Answer: x > -11

Explanation:

3x + 7 > 2x - 4

First, we can simplify the right side of the equation by combining like terms:

3x + 7 > 2x - 4

then we can subtract 2x from both sides of the equation:

3x + 7 - 2x > -4

This gives us:

x+7 > -4

then we can add 4 to both sides of the equation:

x + 7 + 4 > 0

This gives us:

x + 11 > 0

then we can subtract 11 from both sides of the equation:

x + 11 - 11 > 0 - 11

This gives us:

x > -11

so the number is greater than -11.
