Answer:


\displaystyle 3 < x

Step-by-step explanation:


\displaystyle 3x + 7 > 16 \hookrightarrow (3x)/(3) > (9)/(3) \\ \\ x > 3

The above answer is written in reverce, and is still the same result.

*Now, in case you did not know how we arrived at the division, seven was deducted from both sides of the inequality to give you
\displaystyle 3x > 9.From there, we splat both sides in third to give you the above result.

I am joyous to assist you at any time.

Answer:

x > 3

Explanation:

Step 1: Subtract 7 from both sides.


  • 3x+7-7 > 16-7

  • 3x > 9

Step 2: Divide both sides by 3.


  • 3x/3 > 9/3

  • x > 3

Therefore, the solution is x > 3.
