Answer: x > -6

Step-by-step explanation: Begin with 2x+3 > -9.

(1) The first step is to subtract 3 from both sides. You are left with 2x > -12. Remember, when you do something to one side of the inequality you must do it to the other side.

(2) Next, divide BOTH sides of the equation by 2. We do this so we can isolate x and get rid of the 2 next to it.

(3) When you divide, you are left with x > -6.
