Question

Solve. Make sure to write the inequality so the x comes first. 12 + x < 5 Note: You can write ≤ like this <=. You can write ≥ like this >=. 1 point

Answer 1

To solve the inequality \( 12 + x < 5 \), we can follow these steps:

1. Subtract 12 from both sides:
\[
x < 5 - 12
\]
\[
x < -7
\]

Now we rewrite the inequality so that \( x \) comes first:

\[
x < -7
\]

So the final answer is:

**x < -7**
