To solve for x in the inequality 10 + x > 23, our goal is the same as it would be if we were solving an equation, to get x by itself on one side.

Since we have 10 + x, in order to get x by itself, we subtract

10 from both sides of the inequality to get x > 13.

Finally, make sure to write your answer in set notation

which we can write as {x : x > 13}.

It's important to understand that this solution set means that any number greater than 13 is a solution to this inequality.

For example, 14, 15, 67, 103, 642,000 and so on are all solutions.
