5%2A%283%2B4x%29-6%3E189
Add 6 to both sides
5%2A%283+%2B+4x%29+%3E+189+%2B+6
Divide both sides by 5
3+%2B+4x+%3E+195%2F5
Subtract 3 from both sides
4x+%3E+39+-+3
4x+%3E+36
x+%3E+9 answer
To check this I will assume that x+=+9
That should make the inequality false
5%2A%283%2B4%2A9%29-6%3E189
5%2A%2839%29+-+6+%3E+189
195+-+6+%3E+189
189+%3E+189 this is false, so x+%3E9 will work, say x+=+10
