9x-x-2>x+17
To find the opposite of x+2, find the opposite of each term.
8x-2>x+17
Combine 9x and -x to get 8x.
8x-2-x>17
Subtract x from both sides.
7x-2>17
Combine 8x and -x to get 7x.
7x>17+2
Add 2 to both sides.
7x>19
Add 17 and 2 to get 19.
x>\frac{19}{7}
Divide both sides by 7. Since 7 is positive, the inequality direction remains the same.
