$\"x%2B3%3E9-3\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x%2B3%3E6\"$ Simplify the right side
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x%2Bcross%283-3%29%3E6-3\"$ Subtract 3 from both sides
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x%3E3\"$
\n" ); document.write( "So any number greater than 3 will work for x.
\n" ); document.write( "

\n" ); document.write( "Check:
\n" ); document.write( "To show this lets let x=5, which is greater than 3.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%285%29%2B3%3E9-3\"$ Plug in x=5
\n" ); document.write( " $\"8%3E6\"$ The equation is true. We can test any number that is greater than 3 and it will satisfy the equation. \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
