9x%2B2-x%3E17 Start with the given equation


9x-x%3E17-2Subtract 2 from both sides


8x%3E17-2 Combine like terms on the left side


8x%3E15 Combine like terms on the right side


x%3E%2815%29%2F%288%29 Divide both sides by 8 to isolate x


--------------------------------------------------------------
Answer:
So our answer is x%3E%2815%29%2F%288%29 (which is x%3E1.875 in decimal form)
