2x > 6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hi. would you still like some help with this problem?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes please

OpenStudy (anonymous):

like I know its either 3 or -3 and I just dont know which one or how you know

OpenStudy (anonymous):

not quite. how would you solve the equation 2x=6?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

6/2?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes... perfect. now, since the x coefficient is positive, the direction of the inequality remains the same

OpenStudy (anonymous):

does that make sense?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

umm yea i think

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so divide both sides by 2 just like you would for 2x=6
