3(x - 2) - 3 greater than or equal to x - 5 slove plz

hero (hero):

Hint: Distribute 3 across x - 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3x-6 > x-5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yup just like the one above but then idk what to do nxt

hero (hero):

Actually after distribution you would have 3x - 6 - 3 >= x - 5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

are they asking you to simplify it all the way?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and then its 3x-9>x-5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3x>x+4 or x>(x+4)/3 [x plus 4 over 3]

hero (hero):

Nope, that's not correct @TROJAN2K12

hero (hero):

@Ashely3 What you came up with is correct. Now Add 9 to both sides and subtract x from both sides and see what you come up with.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so then its x>2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so igot it rite then

hero (hero):

Yup

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hero (hero):

Yup
