12x - 17 is greater than 19

Answer 1

To solve the inequality \( 12x - 17 > 19 \), follow these steps:

1. Add 17 to both sides:

   \[ 12x - 17 + 17 > 19 + 17 \] \[ 12x > 36 \]

2. Divide both sides by 12:

   \[ \frac{12x}{12} > \frac{36}{12} \] \[ x > 3 \]

The solution to the inequality is:

\[ x > 3 \]
