Question 252657
c+3c>2+14


factor out the c to get:


c * (1+3) > 2 + 14


simplify by performing indicated operations.


c * 4 > 16


divide both sides by 4 to get:


c > 4


your answser is c > 4.


substitute in original equation to confirm.


original equation is:


c+3c>2+14


when c = 3, equation becmes 3 + 9 > 16 which is NOT true.
when c = 4, equation becomes 4 + 12 > 16 which is NOT true.
when c = 5, equation becomes 5 + 15 > 16 which IS true.


answer looks good because original equation IS true when c > 4.
