Responses

x>7
x greater than 7

x<7
x less than 7

x>9
x greater than 9

x<9

Answer 1

To solve the linear inequality, let's isolate the variable x.

1/3x - 1 > 2

Add 1 to both sides:

1/3x > 3

To get rid of the fraction, multiply both sides by 3:

3 * (1/3x) > 3 * 3

x > 9

So the solution to the inequality is x > 9.
