Tab Title: Problem

Tab Content:

Consider the inequality 3 x plus 8 is greater than 2.

Tab Title: Step 1

Tab Content:

The first step is to isolate the term with the variable. To do this subtract 8 from both sides of the inequality. This gives us 3 x plus 8 minus 8 is greater than 2 minus 8

3 x is greater than minus 6

Tab Title: Step 2

Tab Content:

Next, we isolate the variable. We accomplish this by dividing both sides by the coefficient. This gives us: 3 x divided by 3 is greater than minus 6 divided by 3

x is greater than minus 2.
