Solve the inequality for v.

3(3v+9) > 7v + 17
Simplify your answer as much as possible.

1 answer

9v + 27 > 7v + 17

Subtract 7v from both sides:
9v - 7v + 27 > 17

Combine like terms:
2v + 27 > 17

Subtract 27 from both sides:
2v + 27 - 27 > 17 - 27

Simplify:
2v > -10

Divide both sides by 2:
2v/2 > -10/2

Simplify:
v > -5

So the solution to the inequality is v > -5.
