You can put this solution on YOUR website! Solving Inequalities:
3x-4(2x-3) > 5-(4-7x) [use the distributive property to multiply]
3x-8x+12 > 5-4+7x
-5x+12 > 1+7x [combine like-terms wherever possible]
-5x+12-12 > 1 - 12+7x [solve for the x-term]
-5x > -11+7x
-5x-7x > -11+7x-7x
-12x > -11
-12x/-12 < -11/-12 [flip the sign when multiplying or dividing by a negative]
x<11/12
