Answer: Our required inequality would be
[tex](8x-4)>12[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number be 'x'.
Eight times a number is expressed as
[tex]8x[/tex]
Sum of eight times a number and negative four is expressed as
[tex]8x-4[/tex]
the above exceeds twelve is expressed as
[tex](8x-4)>12[/tex]
Hence, our required inequality would be
[tex](8x-4)>12[/tex]
