Answer:

x > 14/3

Explanation:


3x-6 > 8\quad :\quad \begin{bmatrix}\mathrm{Solution:}\:&\:x > (14)/(3)\:\\ \:\mathrm{Decimal:}&\:x > 4.66666\dots \\ \:\mathrm{Interval\:Notation:}&\:\left((14)/(3),\:\infty \:\right)\end{bmatrix}


\mathrm{Add\:}6\mathrm{\:to\:both\:sides}


3x-6+6 > 8+6


\mathrm{Simplify}


3x > 14


\mathrm{Divide\:both\:sides\:by\:}3


(3x)/(3) > (14)/(3)


\mathrm{Simplify}


x > (14)/(3)
