Answer: x > 10

================================================

Step-by-step explanation:

We have some unknown number x and we add on 2. The result x+2 is larger than 12, which is written as x+2 > 12

To isolate x, we subtract 2 from both sides. This undoes the operation of "add 2" that happens to x.

x+2 > 12

x+2-2 > 12-2 .... subtracting 2 from both sides

x+0 > 10

x > 10

The unknown number x is larger than 10.
