Question

what about this one? Solve for x: x - 2 > 2x + 12

x > 14

x < 14

x > -14

x < -14

Answer 1

1) subtract \(x\) from both sides
2) subtract 12 from both sides

those are the only steps needed

Answer 2

x-2>2x+12
-x -x

-2>2x+12
-12 -12

-14>2x
/2 /2

-7>x

Answer 3

oops, forgot to subtract the 1x

it's -14>x
