To do this, you first write the sentence in mathematical language, like this
[tex]8x+(-4)>12[/tex]Where x is that number mentioned in the sentence. So solving for x you have
[tex]\begin{gathered} 8x+(-4)>12 \\ 8x-4>12 \\ \text{Add 4 both sides of the inequality} \\ 8x-4+4>12+4 \\ 8x>16 \\ \text{Divide by 8 on tho both sides of the inequality} \\ \frac{8x}{8}>\frac{16}{8} \\ x>2 \end{gathered}[/tex]Therefore,
