6more than twice a number is greater than negative sixteen

Writing the problem as an equation you have:

2x+6 > -16

Solve for x:

2x+6 > -16

Subtract 6 from each side:

2x > -22

Divide both sides by 2:

x > -11

The answer is: x > -11

step-by-step explanation:

let pq = qr = rs = x, and xz = y and zu = z.

if the horizontal lines are parallel, then corresponding segments are in proportion:

substitute:

therefore 3 = y = z.

xu = y + z → xu = 3 + 3 = 6
