Question

3x - 2 > 5

Answer 1

To solve the inequality \(3x - 2 > 5\), follow these steps:

1. Add 2 to both sides of the inequality:
\[
3x - 2 + 2 > 5 + 2
\]
This simplifies to:
\[
3x > 7
\]

2. Now, divide both sides by 3:
\[
\frac{3x}{3} > \frac{7}{3}
\]
This simplifies to:
\[
x > \frac{7}{3}
\]

So the solution to the inequality is:
\[
x > \frac{7}{3}
\]
