Question

Solve for x 4x+1/2(2x+4)>12

Answer 1

x > 2

Explanation:

given

4x +
`(1)/(2)` (2x + 4) > 12 ← distribute parenthesis by
`(1)/(2)`

4x + x + 2 > 12 ( collect like terms on left side

5x + 2 > 12 ( subtract 2 from both sides )

5x + 2 - 2 > 12 - 2 ( simplify both sides )

5x > 10 ( divide both sides by 5 )

`(5)/(5)` x >
`(10)/(5)` , that is

x > 2
