1 Answer

5 votes

Answer:

x > 77

Explanation:

According to order of operations rules, we must carry out division before addition or subtraction. In this case we wish to isolate x and are permitted to simplify the inequality by combining the "like terms" 3 and 8, as follows:

X/7-3>8

+3 +3

--------------

x/7 > 11

The easiest way in which to solve for x is to multiply both sides of this inequality by 7:

7(x/7) > 7(11), or

x > 77

All numbers greater than 77 are part of the solution set.
