Question

for problems 9-13, determine all possible solutions.

1. $x + 5 = 12$
2. $x + 5 > 12$

Explanation:

Step1: Isolate x for equation

Subtract 5 from both sides.
$x + 5 - 5 = 12 - 5$

Step2: Simplify to find x

Calculate the result for the equation.
$x = 7$

Step3: Isolate x for inequality

Subtract 5 from both sides.
$x + 5 - 5 > 12 - 5$

Step4: Simplify to find x range

Calculate the result for the inequality.
$x > 7$

Answer:

1. $x = 7$
2. $x > 7$
