-15x-12%3C1
Solve it similar to an equation.
x by itself on the left, everything else on the right.
-15x-12%3C1
-15x-12%2B12%3C1%2B12
-15x%3C13
Here is one difference with inequalities.
If you multiply or divide by a negative number, you change the direction of the sign of the inequality.
-15x%2F%28-15%29%3E13%2F%28-15%29
x%3E-%2813%2F15%29
