Answer:

x > 1.42 or x > 17/12

Explanation:

24x - 2 +2 >34

The -2 and +2 cancel out

24x > 34

Now, we need to get x alone

24x/24 > 34/24

x > 34/24

34/24 can be simplifed too 17/12 by dividing by 2

x > 17/12

So Jimmy spent more than $1.42 on his Fanta​

Let me know if you have any questions !
