Given inequality 6x  - (3 -2x ) > 3x  + 2

Apply distributive property a (b + c ) = ab + ac.

6x - 3 + 2 > 3x  + 2

8 - 3 > 3x  + 2

Subtract 3x  from each side.

8x  - 3  - 3x  > 3x  - 3 + 2

5 - 3 > 2

Add 3 to each side.

5 - 3 + 3 > 2 + 3

5 > 5

Divide each 5.

5x /5 > 5/5

x  > 1

Solution set {x / > 1}.
