*Isolate "x" .... 2(x+1)-2 > -3(x-2)-36
First: eliminate parenthesis --- distribute the outer term with the terms in parenthesis.....
2(x) + 2(1) - 2 > -3(x) - 3(-2) - 36
2x + 2 - 2 > -3x - (-6) - 36
2x + 2 - 2 > -3x + 6 - 36
2x > -3x - 30
Sec: add "3x" with both sides to combine with "2x" (when you move a term to the opposite side, always use the opposite sign)....
2x + 3x > -3x + 3x - 30
2x + 3x > - 30
5x > - 30
Third: isolate "x" on one side --- divide both terms by "5"....
5x/5 > - 30/5
x > -30/5
x > -6

2x + 2 - 2 > -3x + 6 - 36.......multiply the factors
2x > -3x - 30....................combine like terms
5x > -30...........................add 3x to both sides
x > -6...............................divide both sides by 5

What value is x? Without the value, this doesn't make any sense.
