Answer:

The answer to your question is letter c. x > 90

Explanation:

Inequality, we solve an inequality in the same way as we solve an equation.

20 + 2 < x/3 - 8

Simplify

22 < x/3 - 8

Add 8 units to both sides

22 + 8 < x/3 - 8 + 8

Simplify

30 < x/3

Multiply both sides by 3

3(30) < 3(x/3)

Simplify

90 < x or x > 90
