Where I went to school, we would say, 3x is greater than 9. If it's as simple as I think, it's just a matter of finding a VALUE FOR X that makes the left side equal to 9. Then for 3x to be greater then 9, x would have to greater than that VALUE.

If you're having trouble recalling this stuff, you should speak with your teacher and your academic advisor. See if you can arrange some tutoring.
Most schools offer tutoring in things like Algebra, and it's free! And lots of students take advantage of it, so there's no shame. As you said yourself, for you, it's been a while. And it's important that you understand the concepts illustrated in the above formula, really grasp them. It's not only going to come up again (a lot, in fact), but it's only going to get harder from here.
