I am stuck on a few problems I multipled by the LCM to clear fractions but I keep getting confused can you help me with this problem?

3/4(3+2x)+2>17

and

8x-12<-9
Answered by Reiny
3/4(3+2x)+2>17
multiply each term by 4
3(3+2x) + 8 > 68
9 + 6x > 60
6x > 51
x > 51/6

the second is really easy, add 12 to both sides, then divide by 8
Answered by Kelley
That is what I did but I was told it was wrong...I got 3/8
Answered by Reiny
8x-12<-9
8x < 12-9
8x < 3
x < 3/8

Was there a restriction on x, e.g. did it say x is an element of the integers or something like that?

Answered by Kelley
No...this is why I am confused, they say the answer is 0
