Math Problem Statement

3x + 2 > 8 + x

Solution

Let's solve the inequality step by step:

1. Starting with the given inequality:

3x+2>8+x3x + 2 > 8 + x

2. Subtract xx from both sides to move all the xx-terms to the left-hand side:

3xx+2>83x - x + 2 > 8 2x+2>82x + 2 > 8

3. Now, subtract 2 from both sides to isolate the 2x2x term:

2x>62x > 6

4. Finally, divide both sides by 2 to solve for xx:

x>3x > 3

Solution:

The solution to the inequality is: x>3x > 3
