Multiply the function inside the parentheses by 4 to clear the parentheses:
4(2x-3)+ 7 >12+4x
8x - 12 + 7 > 12 + 4x
Simplify the equation and combine all like terms:
8x - 5 > 12 + 4x
Subtract both sides by 4x to combine the two x values:
8x - 5 - 4x > 12 + 4x - 4x
4x - 5 > 12
Add 5 to both sides to combine the two constants:
4x - 5 + 5 > 12 + 5
4x > 17
Divide both sides by 4 to get x on one side by itself:
4x > 17
4x/4 > 17/4
x > 17/4
x > 4.25
