3(4x-1) greater than or equal to 2(4-x)

Explanation:

12x - 3 (expand 3(4x-1))

8-2x (expand 2(4-x))

if you assume that x=1 then 12x-3 would be 12(1)-3 then it would be 9 for the first

for the second equation, 8-2x, it would be 8- 2(1) or 6

9>6 so, 3(4x-1) > 2(4-x)

Answer:

Greater than

Explanation:

First, I solved the expressions.

3(4x-1)=12x-3

2(4-x)=8-2x

12x-3>8-2x

As we can see, 12x-3 is greater than 8-2x.
