Question

Solve the inequality: 6x - 36
>
-2x - 14

Answer 1

x > 11/4

Explanation:

Answer 2

To solve the inequality, you need to isolate/get the variable "x" by itself in the inequality:

6x - 36 > -2x - 14 Add 2x on both sides to get "x" on one side of the inequality

6x + 2x - 36 > -2x + 2x - 14

8x - 36 > -14 Add 36 on both sides

8x - 36 + 36 > -14 + 36

8x > 22 Divide 8 on both sides to get "x" by itself

`(8x)/(8) >(22)/(8)` Simplify
`(22)/(8)`

x >
`(11)/(4)`
