3x + 12

Answer 3

Answer 4

yup

Answer 5

get your x's together and your non x terms on the opposing side by adding and subtracting on both sides

Answer 6

2x > -14

Answer 7

4x is bigger or equal to -14

Answer 8

It's 2x , 3x - x

Answer 9

\[3x+12 \ge x-2 \\ \text{ subtract } x \text{ on both sides } \\ 3x-x+12 \ge x-x-2 \\ 2x+12 \ge -2 \]
now try again to subtract your 12 on both sides and
you have
\[2x \ge -14\]
