First, let's work on the left hand side of your inequality, the x-3
This means, for instance, to see if it can be simplified at all.
<span>x-3 evaluates to x-3So, all-in-all, the left hand side of your inequality can be written as: x-3Now, let's work on the right hand side of your inequality, the 7
<span>The right hand side of your inequality can be written as: 7<span>So with these (any) simplifications, the inequality we'll set out to solve is:
<span>x-3 7</span>
Move the -3 to the right hand side by adding 3 to both sides, like this:
To the left hand side:
<span>-3 + 3 = 0</span><span>The answer is x</span><span>To the right hand side:
<span>7 + 3 = 10</span></span></span></span><span>
Now, the inequality reads:
x>=10
To isolate the x, we have to divide both sides of the inequality by the other "stuff" (variables or coefficients)
around the x on the left side of the inequality.
</span>and this is the final solution to your inequality.</span>
<span>The answer is 10</span>
