a

OpenStudy (midhun.madhu1987):

Then subtract 3 from both sides and you get x.

Got it! Thank you guys so much!

yw :)

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

simplifying the left side of your equation, we have: \[6x+18>-30\]

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

then adding -18 to both sides of last equation, we get: \[6x+18-18>-30-18\]

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

and then: \[6x>-48\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

cool, okay thanks to you too!

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

finally dividing by 6, the above equation, we can write: \[x>-\frac{ 48 }{ 6 }\] or: \[x>-8\] so A.
