Verified Answer :

3x + 7 \(\geq\) 2
Subtract 7 from both sides
\(3x +7 -7 = 2-7\)
\(3x = -5\)
Divide 3 to both sides
\(\frac{3x}{3} = \frac{-5}{3}\)
Cancel out the 3 from the left
x ≥ \(\frac{-5}{3}\)

Lets do this step by step :)

1st. Subtract 7 from both sides. 
3x +7 > -2 
    - 7 > -7  Now it cancels out on the left hand side. And we solve -2 - 7 = - 9 

2nd. Now lets set up our equation again. 
3x > -9 

3rd. Now lets divide both sides by 3 to isolate x to be alone. 
3x > -9 
÷3 > ÷3 Now it cancels out on the left hand side. And we solve -9 ÷ 3 = -3

So our final answer is 
x > -3 

or in word form (x is greater than -3) 

 - have a lovely day :)
