Answer

Set notation: $\quad\{x|x\gt3\}$ Interval notation:$\quad(3,\infty )$. The graph is shown below.

Work Step by Step

Add $7$ to both sides. $3x-7+7\gt 2+7 $ Simplify. $3x\gt 9$ Divide both sides by $3$. $\dfrac{3x}{3}\gt \dfrac{9}{3} $ Simplify. $x\gt 3 $ The solution set is $\{x|x\gt3\}$ or interval notation is $(3,\infty )$. To graph, use an open parenthesis at $3$ then shade the region to the right.
