Answer:

Explanation:

three times (3 times something) the difference of x and 2 (2-x) is greater than (>) -21 (-21)

3 times (2-x)>-21

3(2-x)>-21

distrobite using distributiver poerpoty

a(b+c)=ab+ac

3(2-x)=6+(-3x)=6-3x

6-3x>-21

add 3x to both sides

6>-21+3x

add 21 to both sides

27>3x

divide both sides by 3

9>x

x<9

so x= any number below 9 not including 9
