Evaluate
2(x−1)
Apply the distributive property
2x−2×1
Any expression multiplied by 1 remains the same
2x−2
4x+4=2x−2

2x+6
2x+6>0
Move the constant to the right side
2x>0−6
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
2x>−6
Divide both sides
22x>2−6
Divide the numbers
x>2−6
