What value of x is in the solution set of 8x – 6 > 12 + 2x?
2 answers:
Answer: x > 3
Explanation: Start by putting your x's together on the left side of the inequality by subtracting 2x from both sides to give you 6x - 6 > 12.
Next, put your numbers together on the right
by adding 6 to both sides and we have 6x > 18.
Divide both sides by 6 and x > 3.
Remember that dividing by a positive does
not change the direction of the inequality sign.
