You can put this solution on YOUR website!
i) 3x - 5 > x + 13
\n" ); document.write( "Add 5 to both sides, eliminates -5 on the left
\n" ); document.write( "3x > x + 13 + 5
\n" ); document.write( "Subtract x from both sides
\n" ); document.write( "3x - x > 18
\n" ); document.write( "2x > 18
\n" ); document.write( "divide both sides by 2
\n" ); document.write( "x > \"18%2F2\"
\n" ); document.write( "x > 9
\n" ); document.write( ":
