distribute the 3 over the elements in the parenthesis:
3(11x+y) = 33x+3y
Now we have:
33x+3y > 23x+15 subtract 23x from both sides:
10x+3y = 15 subtract 3y from both sides to isolate the x on the left:
10x = -3y+15 divide both sides by 10
x = (-3y/10)+15/10 simplify, 15 and 10 are both divisible by 5:
x = (-3y/10)+3/2
