To solve the inequality
\displaystyle \sf 5x+(1)/(3)(3x+6)>14 for x, we can simplify the expression and isolate x.


\displaystyle \sf 5x+(1)/(3)(3x+6)>14

To simplify the equation, we distribute
\displaystyle \sf (1)/(3) to
\displaystyle \sf ( 3x+6):


\displaystyle \sf 5x+(1)/(3)\cdot 3x+(1)/(3)\cdot 6>14

Simplifying further:


\displaystyle \sf 5x+x+2>14

Combining like terms:


\displaystyle \sf 6x+2>14

Next, we isolate x by subtracting 2 from both sides:


\displaystyle \sf 6x>14-2


\displaystyle \sf 6x>12

Finally, we divide both sides of the inequality by 6 to solve for x:


\displaystyle \sf (6x)/(6)>(12)/(6)


\displaystyle \sf x>2

Therefore, the solution to the inequality
\displaystyle \sf 5x+(1)/(3)(3x+6)>14 is
\displaystyle \sf x>2.
