2x>3x-40

An inequality is treated just like an equation, except that multiplying/dividing by a negative value reverses the carat (< to >).

-x > -40

x < 40

To find the numbers that satisfy the given inequality, we need to solve it for x. Here are the steps:

1. Start with the given inequality: 2x > 3x - 40.
2. Subtract 3x from both sides to isolate the x term: -x > -40.
3. Multiply both sides by -1 to change the direction of the inequality: x < 40.

Therefore, any number less than 40 would satisfy the inequality.
