Answer:

x > 9

Explanation:

3x + 2 > 29

First we need to isolate the variable by subtracting the "2" on both sides

3x + 2 - 2 > 29 - 2

3x > 27

Now we need to simplify the varaible with no coefficient by dividing it by 3

((3x)/3) > (27/3)

((3x)/3) > 9

x > 9

There is our answer and have a nice day :D
