Question

solve for x and graph the solution on the number line below.
x + 12 > 17
answer attempt 1 out of 1
< > ≤ ≥ or
inequality notation:
number line:

Explanation:

Step1: Isolate the variable x

Subtract 12 from both sides of the inequality $x + 12>17$.
$x+12 - 12>17 - 12$

Step2: Simplify the inequality

$x>5$

Answer:

Inequality Notation: $x > 5$
Number Line: On the number - line, draw an open circle at 5 (because 5 is not included in the solution set) and draw an arrow to the right of 5 to represent all numbers greater than 5.
