59x-81>3x+215
Since 3x contains the variable to solve for, move it to the left-hand side of the inequality by subtracting 3x from both sides.
59x-81-3x>215
Since 59x and -3x are like terms, add -3x to 59x to get 56x.
56x-81>215
Since -81 does not contain the variable to solve for, move it to the right-hand side of the inequality by adding 81 to both sides.
56x>81+215
Add 215 to 81 to get 296.
56x>296
Divide each term in the inequality by 56.
Simplify the left-hand side of the inequality by canceling the common terms.
Simplify the right-hand side of the inequality by simplifying each term.
x>37/7
