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

-1
0
3
5​

Answer 1

3

Explanation:

8x-6>12+2x

-2x -2x

6x-6>12

+6 +6

6x > 18

6x÷6. 18÷6

x=3

Answer 2

x = 5

Explanation:

Given

8x - 6 > 12 + 2x ( subtract 2x from both sides )

6x - 6 > 12 ( add 6 to both sides )

6x > 18 ( divide both sides by 6 )

x > 3

The only value greater than 3 is x = 5 ← in the solution set
