Solve: 5x-3>12

A. x >1.8
B. x <1.8
C. x >3
D. x <3

1 answer

To solve the inequality 5x - 3 > 12, we need to isolate the variable x.

Add 3 to both sides:
5x - 3 + 3 > 12 + 3
5x > 15

Divide both sides by 5:
5x/5 > 15/5
x > 3

So the solution to the inequality is x > 3.

Therefore, the correct answer is C. x > 3.
