Solution:
To solve the inequality 3x + 14 > 5x + 34, we first need to isolate the variable x on one side of the inequality sign.
Subtracting 3x from both sides, we get:
14 > 2x + 34
Next, subtracting 34 from both sides, we get:
-20 > 2x
Finally, dividing both sides by 2, we get:
x < -10
Thus, the solution to the inequality 3x + 14 > 5x + 34 is x < -10.
Representation:
Graphically, this solution would be represented as a number line with an open circle at -10 (since it is not included in the solution) and the numbers less than -10 shaded to the left to represent x < -10.
