Question

solve the following inequality.
3x + 2 > -3
x (simplify your answer. type an integer or a simplified fraction.)

Explanation:

Step1: Subtract 2 from both sides

$3x + 2 - 2 > -3 - 2$
$3x > -5$

Step2: Divide both sides by 3

$\frac{3x}{3} > \frac{-5}{3}$
$x > -\frac{5}{3}$

Answer:

$x > -\frac{5}{3}$
