Answer:

x > 2 is your answer.

Explanation:

Isolate the variable, x. Treat the > sign as an equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other.

First, subtract 9x & 6 from both sides.

12x (-9x) + 6 (-6) > 9x (-9x) + 12 (-6)

12x - 9x > 12 - 6

Simplify.

12x - 9x > 12 - 6

3x > 6

Isolate the variable (x). Divide 3 from both sides.

(3x)/3 > (6)/3

x > 6/3

x > 2

x > 2 is your answer.

12x+6 > 9x+12

Subtract 6 from each side:

12x > 9x + 6

Subtract 9x from each side:

3x > 6

Divide both sides by 3:

x > 6 /3

X > 2
