Hey there!

6s + 21 > 63

SUBTRACT 21 to BOTH SIDES

6s + 21 - 21 > 63 - 21

CANCEL out: 21 - 21 because it give you 0

KEEP: 63 - 21 because it help compare to the s-value.

NEW EQUATION: 6s > 63 - 21

SIMPLIFY IT!

6s > 42

DIVIDE 6 to BOTH SIDES

6s/6 > 42/6

CANCEL out: 6/6 because it give you 1

KEEP: 42/6 because it help compare to the s-value
NEW EQUATION: s > 42/6

SIMPLIFY IT!

s > 7


Therefore, your answer is: s > 7


Good luck on your assignment & enjoy your day!
