Question 152687
Let's see if {{{x=2}}} is a solution for the inequality {{{3x+5 > 12}}}.



{{{3x+5 > 12}}} Start with the given inequality.



{{{3*(2)+5 > 12}}} Plug in {{{x=2}}}.



{{{6+5> 12}}} Multiply



{{{11>12}}} Add.



Since the inequality is <b>not</b> true, this means that {{{x=2}}} is <b>not</b> a solution.
