ܢܐ ܘ ܚ ܗ

x > 3

Step-by-step explanation:

8x - 6 > 12 + 2x

1. add 6 to both sides.

8x > 12 + 2x + 6

2. Simplify 12 +2x + 6 to 2x + 18.

8x > 2x + 18

3. Subtract 2x from both sides.

8x - 2x > 18

4. Simplify 8x - 2x to 6x.

6x > 18

5. Divide both sides by 6.

x > 18/6

6. Simplify 18/6 to 3.

x > 3

step-by-step explanation:

from this example, we can see that subtracting with integers is the same as adding the opposite. we can solve using a number line or by using the saying "keep, change, change" to us solve. it is important to remember that we can subtract a negative and end up with a larger number than we started with.
