Question
![The image contains a mathematical expression represented as a set notation:
\[ \{ x \mid -2x \geq -6 \text{ or } x + 5 > 12 \} \]
This notation describes a set of values \( x \) that satisfy either of the following inequalities:
1. \(-2x \geq -6\)
2. \(x + 5 > 12\)
To solve these inequalities:
1. **For \(-2x \geq -6\):**
- Divide both sides by \(-2\) (remembering to reverse the inequality sign):
- \(x \leq 3\)
2. **For \(x + 5 > 12\):**
- Subtract 5 from both sides:
- \(x > 7\)
Thus, the solution set includes all \( x \) such that \( x \leq 3 \) or \( x > 7 \).](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2Fc335de3b-a28d-4ee1-9af9-a5ec3ae09bc7%2F83c2cfbd-1837-4e10-85cb-d3bbba782b57%2Fo7wjl6_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
