Answer:
[tex]\{x:x>5\}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
[tex]12 - x < 7[/tex]
Required
Values of x that make it true
First: solve the inequality.
[tex]12 - x < 7[/tex]
Collect Like Terms
[tex]- x < 7-12[/tex]
[tex]- x < -5[/tex]
Multiply both sides by -1
[tex]-1 * - x < -5 * -1[/tex]
[tex]x > 5[/tex] --- The inequality changes when multiplied by a negative value
So, the solution implies that the value of x is greater than 5 (i.e. 6, 7, 8..)
Hence, the set is:
[tex]\{x:x>5\}[/tex]
