Question

_

Answer 1

what is the first part ?

Answer 2

when you have
3(x+2)
that means 3 times "stuff inside the parens"
if you think of parens as a "package" with stuff inside it, then imagine it is 3 packages. You will have 3 of each thing inside the package.

Answer 3

like if you had 3 purses, and each purse had an "x" and a "2" inside it.
you would have 3x's and 3 2's

in other words, we can re-write
3(x+2) as
3x + 3*2 or
3x + 6

(they call that the distributive law...)

so your problem is the same as
3x + 6 > x

Answer 4

I would add -x to both sides
then add -6 to both sides.

Answer 5

yes

Answer 6

so far, so good.
now add -x to both sides

Answer 7

after you add -x to both sides you get
3x - x > x - 6 -x

on the left side you have 3 x's take away 1 x. How many x's do you have ?
on the right side you have 1 x take away 1 x. How many x's do you have ?

Answer 8

x can equal anything higher -1
