#x>4#

Begin by moving like terms onto each side of the inequality, by subtracting x from both sides and subtracting 3 from both sides.

#4x+3>x+15#

#3x>12#

Finally, divide by 3 to isolate x.

#x>4#

This is your final answer.

Given: #4x + 3> x + 15#

Subtract x from both sides:

#3x + 3> 15#

Subtract 3 from both sides:

#3x> 12#

Divide both sides by 3:

#x > 4#
