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 \( x > 7 \).
