Answer

$(23,\infty)$

Work Step by Step

$5(x-6)+2x\gt3(2x-1)-4$ Apply the distributive property. $5x-30+2x\gt6x-3-4$ Combine like terms. $7x-30\gt6x-7$ Subtract 6x from both sides. $7x-30-6x\gt6x-7-6x$ $x-30\gt-7$ Add 30 to each side. $x-30+30\gt-7+30$ $x\gt23$ This is written in interval notation as $(23,\infty)$ where ( indicates the solution set for x approaches but does not include 23.
