Answer:

x > 2

Explanation:

Step 1: Write inequality

2x - (3 - x) > x + 1

Step 2: Solve for x

  1. Distribute negative: 2x - 3 + x > x + 1
  2. Combine like terms: 3x - 3 > x + 1
  3. Subtract x on both sides: 2x - 3 > 1
  4. Add 3 to both sides: 2x > 4
  5. Divide both sides by 2: x > 2

Here we see that any value x greater than 2 would work as a solution.
