Solution:
1. The formula for the area of a rectangle is given by:
- Area = base \times height
2. Substitute the given base and height into the formula:
- Area = 12 ft \times (2x - 3) ft
- Area = 12(2x - 3)
3. Set up the inequality for the area greater than 60 square feet:
- 12(2x - 3) > 60
4. Distribute the 12 across the terms in the parenthesis:
- 24x - 36 > 60
5. Add 36 to both sides of the inequality:
- 24x > 96
6. Divide each side by 24 to solve for x:
- x > 4
Thus, the possible values of x are greater than 4.
