Hey there!
2x + 3 ≥ 7
SUBTRACT by 3 on your sides
2x + 3 - 3 ≥ 7 - 3
Cancel out: 3 - 3 because that gives you 0
Keep: 7 - 4 because it helps us solve for your answer
7 - 3 = 4
NEW EQUATION: 2x = 4
DIVIDE by 2 on your sides
2x/2 ≥ 4/2
Cancel out: 2/2 because it gives you 1
Keep: 4/2 because it helps us compare with your unknown number
4/2 = 4 ÷ 2 = 2
Answer #1: x ≥ 2 ✔

2x + 9 > 11
SUBTRACT by 9 on your sides
2x + 9 - 9 > 11 - 9
Cancel out: 9 - 9 because it equals
Keep: 11 - 9 because it helps us solve for your answer
11 - 9 = 2
NEW EQUATION: 2x > 2
DIVIDE by 2 on your sides
2x/2 > 2/2
Cancel out: 2x/2 because it gives you 1
Keep: 2/2 because it helps us compare with your unknown number
2/2 = 2÷2 = 1
Answer #2: x > 1 ✔
