6x%2B2%3E2%282x%2B9%29 Start with the given inequality.


6x%2B2%3E4x%2B18 Distribute.


6x%3E4x%2B18-2 Subtract 2 from both sides.


6x-4x%3E18-2 Subtract 4x from both sides.


2x%3E18-2 Combine like terms on the left side.


2x%3E16 Combine like terms on the right side.


x%3E%2816%29%2F%282%29 Divide both sides by 2 to isolate x.


x%3E8 Reduce.
