Question 33052: Would someone check to see if I did this correctly? Thank you in advance
Solve for x:
2(x + 1) > 12

Simplify left side and right side to get:
2x + 1=12-3
2 + 1 + x = 12
x = 9

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
2(x + 1) > 12
2x + 2 > 12
2x + (2 - 2) > (12 - 2)
2x > 10
(2/2) > 10/2
x > 5
