Question 164642: I'm lost here. Can you help. Once I know how to do one problem I can usually do the rest but my book doesn't explain this one and I am taking online classes so no teacher to ask. Thanks.
Solve for x. Collect xs on the LEFT side. The solution should be presented with x first, the correct inequality symbol, then the number.
2(x + 3) > 20

Yes, x on the left, everything else on the right.
Remember, whatever you do to one side of the equation, you must do to the other side.
.....Divide both sides by 2.

.....Subtract 3 from both sides.
.....Final answer.

Check your answer.
Pick an x>7 and x<7 and plug it into your inequality.

.
.
x=0, should be false since 0<7.

False.
