Answer:

x > 2

Explanation:

Distribute 1/2

Distribute 1/2 inside the parentheses

1/2 * 2x = x

1/2 * 4 = 2

Simplify

4x + x + 2 > 12

Combine like terms

5x + 2 > 12

Subtract 2 in both sides

2 - 2 = 0

12 - 2 = 10

5x > 10

Divide 5 in both sides

5x/5 = x

10/5 = 2

Simplify

x > 2

Answer

x > 2

Answer: x > 5

Step-by-step explanation: You need to isolate x. First, distribute the 1/2 into the parentheses. You will get:

4x + x + 2 > 12

Combine like terms.

5x + 2 > 12

Subtract 2 from each side.

5x > 10

Divide by 5 on each side.

X > 2

Since x is by itself, that is the answer.
