Question

Solve the inequality for x 12x>9(2x-3)-21

Answer 1

Answer: x=8

Step-by-step explanation: 12x > 9(2x-3)-21

12x > 18x-27-21

12x > 18x - 48

48 > 18x - 12x

48 > 6x

8 > x

Answer 2

The correct answer is x = 8

Explanation:

12x > 9(2x-3)-21

First start with parenthesis

12x > 18x - 27 - 21

-27-21 = -48

12x > 18x - 48

Now move the x value to the opposite side and switch the sign

12x - 18x > -48

Combine like terms

-6x > -48

Divide -48 by 6

x = 8
