Question

Solve 6x+4 is greater than
x+17

Answer 1

x > 2.6

Explanation:

Solve the inequality:

6x + 4 > x + 17

• Subtract 4 from both sides,

6x + 4 - 4 > x + 17 - 4

6x > x + 13

• Subtract x from both sides,

6x - x > x - x + 13

5x > 13

• Divide both sides by 5,

`\sf (5x)/(5) > (13)/(5)\\\\\\ x > (13)/(5)\\\\\\ x > 2.6`

Answer: x > 2.6
