When a question is like: 1/3x - 3/4 > 7/6 - 2/3x
How do you answer the problem?
Assume you mean %281%2F3%29x+-+3%2F4+%3E+7%2F6+-+%282%2F3%29x
:
In this one I would add %282%2F3%29x to both sides:
%281%2F3%29x+%2B+%282%2F3%29x+-+3%2F4+%3E+7%2F6
1x+-+3%2F4+%3E+7%2F6
Add 3/4 to both sides
1x+%3E+7%2F6+%2B+3%2F4
A common denominato of 12
1x+%3E+14%2F12+%2B+9%2F12
x+%3E+23%2F12

It would be good exercise to check this solution by substituting 23/12 for x in the original equation.
