Question

I need help solving for x.

I've been trying but have not gotten the right answer!
I'm doing a step wrong I think
can someone write it step by step so I can understand the problem more too

Answer 1

x > -1/2.

Explanation:

12x > 3(2x+4) - 15 First distribute the 3 over the parentheses:

12x > 6x + 12 - 15 Simplify 12 - 15:

12x > 6x - 3 Now to get the x terms together:- subtract 6x from both sides:

12x - 6x > 6x - 6x - 3

6x > -3 Finally divide both sides by 6:

x > -1/2.
