Solve 5x – 2 > 3x + 11

Let's temporarily replace the inequality sign ">" with "=".

This gives us: 5x - 2 = 3x + 11.

If we subtract 3x from both sides we are left with:

2x - 2 = 11.

If we add 2 to both sides, we are left with:

2x = 13.

If we divide both sides by 2, we are left with

x = 6.5.

Now let's substitute back in the inequality sign

x > 6.5
