Answer: x>9

Let’s rewrite the equation to start

6(x-5)>3(x-1)

To start, we need to distribute. Let’s do this now.

6x-30>3x-3

To bring all the x’s on one side, subtract 3x on both sides.

3x-30>-3

Now we need to bring all the numbers on one side, so let’s add 30 to both sides.

3x>27

To find the value of x, divide both 3x and 27 by 3.

x>9

I also attached below what this would look like graphed

This is your answer! Hope this helps comment below for more questions :)
