Hello! We see that 6 is the fixed amount. x represents the amount of something, and the solution makes a number $27. Let's make a real-world problem and then execute it.
Fawn has $6 in her piggy bank. She makes bracelets to sell to family & friends for $3 each. She wants to buy a video game that with tax, costs a little over $27. How many bracelets would Fawn have to sell in order to have enough money to buy the video game?
How to solve it:
So we have the expression of 3x + 6 > 27. First off, subtract 6 from both sides. 6 - 6 cancels out. 27 - 6 is 21. That's 3x > 21. Now, divide each side by 3 to isolate the x. 3x/3 cancels out. 21/3 is 7. There. x > 7. Fawn will have to sell more than 7 bracelets in order to have enough money for the game.
Many simple inequalities can be solved by adding, subtracting, multiplying or dividing both sides until you are left with the variable on its own.
But these things will change direction of the inequality:
Don't multiply or divide by a variable (unless you know it is always positive or always negative)
