What value of x is in the solution set of 8x – 6 > 12 + 2x? –1 0 3 5

Hi there!

Simplify th' Inequality :-

8x - 6 > 12 + 2x

8x - 2x > 12 + 6

6x > 18 ⇒ x >

x > 3

∴ For all the values greater than 3 are the solⁿ of the Inequality.

Hence,
" 5 " is the Correct Option!

~ Hope it helps!

Hi there!

Let's solve this inequality step by step!


First subtract 2x from both sides.


Now add 6 to both sides.


And finally, to get our solution we must divide by 6.


Our final solution gives x > 3. Therefore, all the values of x which are bigger than 3, make the inequality true. The only number on the list that is bigger than 3, is 5. Hence, the answer is 5.
