1. ( x + 4 ) > 6
2. ( x + 4 ) > 6
- 4 - 4
3. x > 6
1. rewrite problem on scratch paper
2. to get x by itself you'd subtract 4 from itself and 6
3. the final answer should be x is greater than 6
so basically any number greater than 6 Is equal to x { etc. 7, 8, 9 ... }. To check if your problem is correct plug in any number greater than 6 in place of x. If the new equation equals a number greater than 6 you are correct
