3x-8>10
when u want to find what the equation is equaled to... basically u r trying to find the x-value.... since, it is the inequality, therefore, u can't bring 10 to the left side and factor it... (thats what many people do!!) well, 3x-8>10
add 8 to both sides...that will result in
3x>18
then divide both sides by 3... that will result in..
x>6
thats ur answer.....
i hope that helped :)

It's an inequality, so you wil not have anything equal to x. You'll have an answer that says x is greater than something.
1. Add 8 to both sides.
2. Divide both sides by 3.
3. You'll have your answer.

it's not an equation because there's an inequality sign between them... but if you mean you want to find the value of 'x'
3x-8>10
3x>18
x>6

just pretend that sign is a equal sign and just answer it. add 8 to 10...then divide by 3. it will show that x is greater that whatever #.
