Question

Solve for x.
8x + 3 > 4 (1/2x – 3)

Answer 1

`x>-5/2`

Explanation:

So we have:

`8x+3>4((1)/(2)x-3)`

First, distribute the right:

`8x+3>2x-12`

Subtract 2x from both sides:

`6x+3>-12`

Subtract 3 from both sides:

`6x>-15`

Divide everything by 6:

`x>-15/6`

Reduce:

`x>-5/2`

And this is our answer :)
