Answer:

x>4.5

Explanation:

6(x-2)>15

We do this is as if it were an equation:

6(x-2)>15

Expand the brackets:

6x-12>15

Add 12 to both sides:

6x-12+12>15+12

Simplify:

6x>37

Now we divide both sides by 6:

6x÷6>37÷6

x > 4.5

If we put 5 into the original equation as it is more than 4.5, we get:

6(5-2)>15

We can simplify the brackets or expand first:

Simplifying the brackets first:

6(3)>15

18>15 ✅

Expanding first:

6(5-2)>15

30-12>15

18>15 ✅

6(x-2) > 15

6x - 12 > 15

6x > 27

x > 27/6

Hope it helps!
