Answer:

x>3

Explanation:

8x-6>12+2x

First start distributing your numbers

the 2x will go to the left and turn to -2x and the -6 will go to the right and turn to +6

Then you will get the answer of 6x > 18

Now you will need to get the x by itself, so divide the 6 by the 18 on the right and you will get the answer.

Answer:

x>3

Explanation:

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

Hope this helps!
