\huge\text{Hey there!}


\mathsf{(4x - 3) > 5}


\mathsf{4x - 3 > 5}


\large\text{ADD 3 to BOTH SIDES}


\mathsf{4x - 3 + 3 > 5 + 3}


\large\text{CANCEL out: -3 + 3 because that gives you 0}


\large\text{KEEP: 5 + 3 because it helps solve for x}


\mathsf{5 + 3 = \bf 8}


\large\text{New EQUATION: }\mathsf{4x > 8}


\large\text{DIVIDE 4 to BOTH SIDES}


\mathsf{(4x)/(4)>(8)/(4)}


\large\text{CANCEL out: } \mathsf{(4)/(4)}\large\text{ because that gives you 1}


\large\text{KEEP: }\mathsf{(8)/(4)}\large\text{ because it helps you compares to x}


\mathsf{(8)/(4)=\bf 2}


\boxed{\boxed{\large\textsf{Therefore your ANSWER: \boxed{\mathsf{\bf x > 2}}}}}\huge\checkmark


\large\text{Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!}
