2(3+3g)&gt;2g+14


remove parentheses to get:


2*3 + 2*3g &gt; 2g + 14


this becomes:


6 + 6g &gt; 2g + 14


subtract 6 from both sides of the equation to get:


6g &gt; 2g + 14 - 6 which becomes:


6g &gt; 2g + 8


subtract 2g from both sides to get:


4g &gt; 8


divide both sides of the equation by 2 to get:


g &gt; 2


substitute 2 for g in your original equation to confirm the answer is good.


2(3+3g)&gt;2g+14 becomes:


2*(3+3*2) &gt; 2*2+14 which becomes:


2*(3+6) = 4+14 which becomes:


2*9 &gt; 18 which becomes:


18&gt;18 which is false which is good because g was made equal to 2 and g was supposed to be made &gt; 2.


try g = any number &gt; 3 and the equation should be true.


try g = 3


original equation becomes:


2(3+3g)&gt;2g+14  which becomes:


2*(3+3*3) &gt; 2*3 + 14 which becomes:


2*27 &gt; 6+4 which becomes:


54 &gt; 10 which is true.


any value g &gt; 2 should be good.
