Question

Solve for x: 5x + one third(3x + 6) > 14

Answer 1

Answer:

x > 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

5x + $\frac{1}{3}$(3x + 6) > 14 ← distribute and simplify left side

5x + x + 2 > 14

6x + 2 > 14 ( subtract 2 from both sides )

6x > 12 ( divide both sides by 6 )

x > 2

Answer 2

Answer: x > 2  

Step-by-step explanation:

5x + 1/3(3x +6) > 14     Distribute

5x + 1x + 2 > 14     Combine like terms on the left side

  6x + 2 > 14      Subtract 2 from both sides

         -2    -2

   6x > 12      Divde both sides by 6

 x > 2
