-2x+3 > x +24Show steps how you got your solution

Question
Answer:
- 2x + 3 > x + 24

First we must get all variables on the same side and constants on the opposite side. To do so we subtract x from the right and the left. Then subtract 3 from both sides as well. 

- 2x - x > 24 - 3 

Now we combine like terms:

- 3x > 21

We must isolate the variable x. In order to do so, we divide both sides by - 3. When you divide by a negative number, you must also flip the inequality so the greater than becomes a less than. 

x < 21 / - 3

x < - 7 is your answer.
