The correct next step is: 4x - 12 + 12 > 16 + 12
Explanation: In the given inequality, Mari is first using the distributive property to simplify the expression 4(x - 3) to 4x - 12. To isolate the variable x, her next step would be to add 12 to both sides of the inequality to cancel out the subtraction of 12. This gives 4x - 12 + 12 > 16 + 12.
Mari is solving the inequality 4(x - 3) > 16. Her first step is 4x - 12 > 16.
