Question

what value of x is in the solution set of the inequality $8x - 6 > 12 + 2x$?
-1
0
3
5

Explanation:

Step1: Subtract $2x$ from both sides

$8x - 2x - 6 > 12 + 2x - 2x$
$6x - 6 > 12$

Step2: Add 6 to both sides

$6x - 6 + 6 > 12 + 6$
$6x > 18$

Step3: Divide by 6 on both sides

$\frac{6x}{6} > \frac{18}{6}$
$x > 3$
