Question

12 less than 4 times a number is at least 3 more than the number

Answer 1

4x-12>= x+3 that's greater than or equal to. solve for x

Answer 2

Write out the equation
12-4x=3+x

Solve for x by passing all x terms to the left and all non x terms to the right

-4x-x=3-12
-5x=-9

Divide both sides by -5 to isolate x
x=-9/-5

Do the divison in the calculator and get:
x=1.8

Or leave it in fraction form (signs go positive since both were negative)
x=9/5
