Question

Solve for x: 5x + 1/3 (3x + 6) > 14

A. x>12/5
B. x>2
C. x<12/5
D. x<2

Answer 1

B

Explanation:

Let's solve your inequality step-by-step.

`5x + (1)/(3)(3x+6) > 14`

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the inequality.

`6x+2>14`

Step 2: Subtract 2 from both sides.

`6x+2-2>14-2\\6x>12`

Step 3: Divide both sides by 6.

`(6x)/(6)>(12)/(6)\\ x>2`
