Answer:

x< or = 9

Explanation:

if you try to fill in the equation, the highest you can go without equaling or surpassing 12 would be 9.

2(10)-8=12 but

2(9)-8=10

I really hope this helps, i am sorry if i misunderstood the question....

Answer:

X less than 10

Explanation:

The problem is set up 2x - 8 < 12

So add 8 to both sides to get 2x <20, and then divide by 2 to get x < 10
