Solve for x x+12-2(x-22)>0

$x + 12 - 2 (x - 22) > 0$

Step 1

Simplify $x + 12 - 2 (x - 22)$ .

Simplify each term.

Apply the distributive property.

$x + 12 - 2 x - 2 \cdot - 22 > 0$

Multiply $- 2$ by $- 22$ .

$x + 12 - 2 x + 44 > 0$

Simplify by adding terms.

Subtract $2 x$ from $x$ .

$- x + 12 + 44 > 0$

Add $12$ and $44$ .

$- x + 56 > 0$

Step 2

Subtract $56$ from both sides of the inequality.

$- x > - 56$

Step 3

Divide each term in $- x > - 56$ by $- 1$ and simplify.

Divide each term in $- x > - 56$ by $- 1$ . When multiplying or dividing both sides of an inequality by a negative value, flip the direction of the inequality sign.

$\frac{- x}{- 1} < \frac{- 56}{- 1}$

Simplify the left side.

Dividing two negative values results in a positive value.

$\frac{x}{1} < \frac{- 56}{- 1}$

Divide $x$ by $1$ .

$x < \frac{- 56}{- 1}$

Simplify the right side.

Divide $- 56$ by $- 1$ .

$x < 56$

Step 4

The result can be shown in multiple forms.

Inequality Form:

$x < 56$

Interval Notation:

$(- \infty, 56)$
