Solve the inequality: 6x – 7 > 17.
Note
Subtract the constant from both sides to get 6x > 24. Because 6 is positive, dividing by 6 keeps the inequality direction unchanged. So the solution is x > 4. Solve an inequality much like an equation: isolate x step by step. Since the division here is by a positive number, the inequality sign stays in the same direction. The final answer represents a range of values, not just one value. The correct answer is x > 4, which matches the calculation or reasoning shown.
