The minimum value of x is 12 less than 6 times another number n. Which inequality shows the possible values of x ?

Correct answer: B. x ≥ 6n − 12

  • A. x ≤ 6n − 12
  • B. x ≥ 6n − 12
  • C. x ≤ 12 − 6n
  • D. x ≥ 12 − 6n

Explanation

The correct answer is Choice B: x ≥ 6n − 12. The problem states that the minimum value of x is 12 less than 6 times another number n. Translating this into an inequality, we get x must be greater than or equal to (6n - 12). Choices A and C are incorrect because they reverse the role of the minimum and maximum values. Choice D is incorrect because it incorrectly positions the number 12 and the term 6n in the inequality, suggesting a different relationship than what is stated in the problem.
