3x-8%3E=12-x Start with the given inequality.


3x%3E=12-x%2B8 Add 8 to both sides.


3x%2Bx%3E=12%2B8 Add x to both sides.


4x%3E=12%2B8 Combine like terms on the left side.


4x%3E=20 Combine like terms on the right side.


x%3E=%2820%29%2F%284%29 Divide both sides by 4 to isolate x.


x%3E=5 Reduce.
