To solve the inequalities \(4x - 3 > 9\) and \(x + 6 > -2\), we will solve each inequality separately.

  1. Solving the first inequality: \[ 4x - 3 > 9 \] Add 3 to both sides: \[ 4x > 12 \] Divide both sides by 4: \[ x > 3 \]

  2. Solving the second inequality: \[ x + 6 > -2 \] Subtract 6 from both sides: \[ x > -8 \]

Now we have two inequalities:

  • \(x > 3\)
  • \(x > -8\)

The solution set that satisfies both of these inequalities is the more restrictive one, which is \(x > 3\).

Thus, the solution set is: \[ {x \mid x > 3} \]

The correct response is: \({x \mid x > 3}\) (left brace x vertical bar x greater than 3 right brace).
