34 - 12x > 8 <=== ur inequality
-12x > 8 - 34
-12x > - 26
x < -26/-12
x < 13/6 (or 2 1/6)

Answer:
34-12x>8 and {x: x is less than 13/6}

Step-by-step explanation:

We have given a statement 12 times a number x gives 12x

subtracted from 34 gives 34 -12x

greater than 8 finally gives 34 - 12x>8

Now, to find solution for 34 -12x >8

we simplify the equation -12x >-26

x< 13/6

Now the solution set for the inequality is {x: x is less than 13/6}

and interval form is x belons to
(-{\infty},(13)/(6) )
