Equality Properties

Explanation:

Step 1: Define

4x - 12 ≤ 16 + 8x

Step 2: Solve for x

  1. Subtract 4x on both sides: -12 ≤ 16 + 4x
  2. Subtract 16 on both sides: -28 ≤ 4x
  3. Divide 4 on both sides: -7 ≤ x
  4. Rewrite: x ≥ -7

Here we see that any value x greater than or equal to -7 would work as a solution to the inequality.

∴ our answer is -7.
