2x%2B6%3E-14........solve for x
2x%2B6-6%3E-14-6
2x%3E-20
x%3E-20%2F2
x%3E-10

Six more than twice a number is greater than negative fourteen.
First, what is 'twice a number"? 'Twice a number' is 'two times a number'. So if we let x be the number, then twice the number = 2x
Six more than twice a number (2x) is 6 + 2x
(Hint: more than = addition)
Since six more than twice a number (6 + 2x) is greater than negative fourteen, then:
6 + 2x > -14
