Answer: x>−5

Explanation:


6((x)/(2) +4) > 9

Divide both sides by 6. Since 6 is positive, the inequality direction remains the same.


(x)/(2) +4 > (9)/(6)

Reduce the fraction


(9)/(6)

to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 3.


(x)/(2) +4 > (3)/(2)

Multiply both sides of the equation by 2. Since 2 is positive, the inequality direction remains the same.

x+8>3

Subtract 8 from both sides.

x>3−8

Subtract 8 from 3 to get −5.

x>−5
