Question

What value of x is in the solution set of 8x - 6 > 12 + 2x?

A)-1
B)0
C)3
D)5

Answer 1

The correct option is C. 3

Therefore the value of x in the solution set of

`8x-6 > 12+2x`

is

`x>3`

Explanation:

Given:

`8x-6 > 12+2x`

To Find:

x = ?

Solution:

`8x-6 > 12+2x` .......Given:

Step 1 : Add '6' on Both the side we get

`8x-6+6 > 12+2x+6\\8x > 18+2x`

Step 2 : Subtract '2x' from Both the side we get

`8x-2x > 18+2x-2x\\6x > 18`

Step 3 : Dividing by '6 on Both the side we get

`(6x)/(6) >(18)/(6)\\\\x > 3`

Therefore the value of x in the solution set of

`8x-6 > 12+2x`

is

`x>3`
