Answer

All real numbers are solutions. The graph is shown below.

Work Step by Step

The given inequality is $\Rightarrow 3r-8 \gt 3(r-6)$ Use distributive property. $\Rightarrow 3r-8 \gt 3r-18$ Add $18$ to each side. $\Rightarrow 3r-8 +18\gt 3r-18+18$ Simplify. $\Rightarrow 3r+10\gt 3r$ Subtract $3r$ from each side. $\Rightarrow 3r+10-3r\gt 3r-3r$ Simplify. $\Rightarrow 10\gt 0$ The inequality is true. Hence, all real numbers are solutions.
