Question

What is the solution to this inequality? 3x+7>16 Drag and drop a symbol and number to correctly complete the inequality.

Answer 1

Answer:

x > 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Subtract 7 from both sides.

• $3x+7-7 > 16-7$
• $3x > 9$

Step 2: Divide both sides by 3.

• $3x/3 > 9/3$
• $x > 3$

Therefore, the solution is x > 3.

Answer 2

Answer:

$\displaystyle 3 < x$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\displaystyle 3x + 7 > 16 \hookrightarrow \frac{3x}{3} > \frac{9}{3} \\ \\ x > 3$

The above answer is written in reverce, and is still the same result.

*Now, in case you did not know how we arrived at the division, seven was deducted from both sides of the inequality to give you $\displaystyle 3x > 9.$From there, we splat both sides in third to give you the above result.
