To determine how x + 5 is greater than 12, we need to solve the inequality. Here's how you can do it:

1. Start with the given inequality: x + 5 > 12.
2. To isolate the variable x, subtract 5 from both sides of the inequality: x + 5 - 5 > 12 - 5.
This simplifies to: x > 7.

Therefore, x must be greater than 7 for the inequality x + 5 > 12 to be true.
