%284%2F5%29%282x-1%29%3E12 Start with the given inequality.


4%282x-1%29%3E5%2812%29 Multiply both sides by 5


4%282x-1%29%3E60 Multiply.


8x-4%3E60 Distribute.


8x%3E60%2B4 Add 4 to both sides.


8x%3E64 Combine like terms on the right side.


x%3E%2864%29%2F%288%29 Divide both sides by 8 to isolate x.


x%3E8 Reduce.
