Answer:

x=1

Explanation:

Look at 3*x-x+2=4

Eliminated similar terms 3*x,-x

It becomes (3-1*x+2=4

Look at (3-1)*x+2=4.

Added fractions or integers together

It becomes (2)*x+2=4

Look at (2)*x+2=4

Remove unneeded parentheses around factor 2

It becomes 2*x+2=4

Look at 2*x+2=4

Moved these terms to the left -4

It becomes 2*x+2-4=0.

Look at 2*x+-2=0

Added fractions or integers together

It becomes 2*x+-2=0.

Look at 2*x+-2=0

Removed extra sign in front of -2

It becomes 2*x-2=0

Look at 2*x-2=0.

Solved linear equation 2*x-2=0 equivalent to 2*x-2 =0

It becomes 0=0.

Result: 0=0

This is an equation! Solutions: x=1.

Answer:

x > 4

Explanation:

Find the set of values that x may take on that makes this inequality true.

Start by subtracting 2x from both sides, which will simplify the inequality and isolate x on the left side: 3x > 12.

Further isolate x by dividing both sides by 3:

x > 4
