00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.005
Here is the problem: 7x plus 9 greater than 6.

2
00:00:04.455 --> 00:00:08.217
Solve the inequality and give the answer in interval notation.

3
00:00:09.017 --> 00:00:16.587
Move everything to one side and isolate the variable. Collect terms: 7x plus 3 greater than 0.

4
00:00:17.037 --> 00:00:34.034
Test one point in each interval (sign chart). (-∞, negative 3 over 7): test x equals negative 2 → sign minus → excluded; (negative 3 over 7, ∞): test x equals 1 → sign plus → included.

5
00:00:34.484 --> 00:00:38.269
Decide the endpoints. negative 3 over 7: excluded.

6
00:00:38.719 --> 00:00:40.251
Write the solution set.

7
00:00:41.052 --> 00:00:44.616
So the answer is (negative 3 over 7, ∞).

8
00:00:45.066 --> 00:00:59.753
The inequality holds exactly for x in (negative 3 over 7, ∞). Points where the expression is undefined are never included, and endpoints are included only for less than or equal to or greater than or equal to where the expression equals zero.

9
00:01:00.553 --> 00:01:04.825
x equals negative 2: does not satisfy the inequality.

10
00:01:05.276 --> 00:01:08.654
x equals 1: satisfies the inequality.
