Solve for x and graph the solution on the number line below. x + 12 > 17

Answer 1

To solve for x, we need to isolate x on one side of the inequality sign.

x + 12 > 17

Subtract 12 from both sides:

x + 12 - 12 > 17 - 12

x > 5

Therefore, the solution for x is x > 5.

Now, let's graph this on the number line:

-------------------------------------------
-5 0 5 10 15 20 25
-------------------------------------------

The solution is represented by an open circle at 5, with an arrow to the right indicating that x is greater than 5.
