You can put this solution on YOUR website!
solve and graph the solution set 3(x-4)>7x-9
You would try and isolate the x.
3(x-4) > 7x - 9 ----distribute the 3 on the left side
3x - 12 > 7x - 9 ----subtract 3x from each side
-12 > 4x - 9 ---- add 9 to each side
-3 > 4x -------divide each side by 4
%28-3%2F4%29%3Ex
.
Then for your graph, you would have a number line with a open dot on %28-3%2F4%29 and you would shade to the right.
