Question

Solve the inequality 3(x + 2) > 0.

Answer 1

Answer: x < -2

Explanation:

3(x+2)>0
(3x)+(6)>0
3x>-6
x>-2
x<-2

Answer 2

x > -2

Explanation:

3(x + 2) > 0

Expand the brackets.

3x + 6 > 0.

Subtract 6 on both sides of the inequality.

3x + 6 - 6 > 0 - 6

3x > -6

Divide 3 into both sides of the inequality.

3x/3 > -6/3

x > -2
