Sagot :

Answer:

Cara.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we expand the left side of the inequality:

[tex]-2(8-x) > 12[/tex]

[tex](-2)*8+(-2)*(-x) > 12[/tex] by the distributive property of multiplication.

[tex]-16+2x > 12[/tex]

Next, we isolate [tex]x[/tex]:

[tex]-16+2x+16 > 12+16[/tex]

[tex]2x > 28[/tex]

[tex]x > 14[/tex]

Thus, Cara solved the inequality correctly.
