Answer:

x > 8/15

Explanation:

x -1/2x + 1/3 > 3/5​

Combine like terms

2/2x - 1/2x +1/3 > 3/5

1/2x + 1/3 > 3/5

Subtract 1/3 from each side

1/2x + 1/3 -1/3 > 3/5 -1/3

1/2x > 3/5 -1/3

Get a common denominator

1/2x > 9/15 - 5/15

1/2x > 4/15

Multiply each side by 2

2 * 1/2x > 4/15 * 2

x > 8/15
