STEP 1

What is this asking? We need to find the smallest value of xx that makes the inequality 14x13>5+3x14x - 13 > -5 + 3x true. Watch out! Remember to flip the inequality sign if you multiply or divide both sides by a negative number!
But we won't need to do that here.

STEP 2

1. Isolate the xx terms.
2. Isolate xx.

STEP 3

First, let's get all the xx terms on one side.
We can do this by subtracting 3x3x from both sides of the inequality: 14x133x>5+3x3x14x - 13 - 3x > -5 + 3x - 3x 11x13>511x - 13 > -5Why did we do that?
Because it helps us get closer to having xx all by itself!

STEP 4

Now, let's get rid of that 13-13 on the left side.
We can do this by adding 1313 to both sides: 11x13+13>5+1311x - 13 + 13 > -5 + 13 11x>811x > 8Awesome! We're almost there.

STEP 5

To finally isolate xx, we need to divide both sides of the inequality by 1111: 11x11>811 \frac{11x}{11} > \frac{8}{11} x>811 x > \frac{8}{11} And there we have it!

STEP 6

The solution to the inequality is x>811x > \frac{8}{11}.
So, the value of AA is 811\frac{8}{11}.
