x > 3 (the third option)
Step-by-step explanation:
8x - 6 > 12 + 2x
subtract 2x from both sides
6x - 6 > 12
add 6 to both sides
6x > 18
isolate the variable
x > 3
x = 5
Solve the inequality
8x - 6 > 12 + 2x ( subtract 2x from both sides )
6x - 6 > 12 ( add 6 to both sides )
6x > 18 ( divide both sides by 6 )
The only value of x greater than 3 is x = 5
