Question

solve the inequality 3x+3>48

Answer 1

Explanation:

• Given the Inequality.

$3x + 3 > 48$

• Solving the Inequality is similar to solving the equation. We simply make x-term as the subject since we are solving for x.

$3x > 48 - 3 \\ 3x > 45 \\ x > \frac{45}{3} \Longrightarrow x > \frac{ \cancel{45}}{ \cancel{3}} \Longrightarrow x > \frac{15}{1} \\ x > 15$

• Answer Check

Because x must be greater than 15. We will substitute x = 16 in the Inequality.

$3(16) + 3 > 48 \\ 48 + 3 > 48 \\ 51 > 48 \: \: \checkmark$

The Inequality is true when x > 15.

Answer

$\large \boxed{x > 15}$
