Question

{x | x > 2}
{x | x > 5}
{x | x > 7}
{x | x > 14}

Answer 1

Hi @readytowork1

First, use the distributive property on 4(x-3) and 2(x-1),

4x-12 - (2x-2) > 0

Then we will take 2x-2 out of parentheses,
4x-12-2x+2 > 0

Combine like terms,
2x-10 > 0

Then isolate x,

2x > 10
x > 5

Lastly we will represent the answer as this set
{x | x > 5}

What is your answer?
