Find all solutions of the inequality

displaymath229

Solution.

We want to isolate x on the left: subtract 2 from both sides (Rule 1) to obtain

displaymath237

i.e.,

displaymath238

then, divide by 3 on both sides (Rule 3a):

displaymath239

so

displaymath240

The set of solutions consists of all real numbers exceeding 1.
