Hi,

7x + 12 > 6x - 15

solving for x:

 x > -27

x can be any real number to the right of x = -27 on the number Line

number_line%28+600%2C+-30%2C+30%2C+-27+%29

+7x+%2B+12+%3E+6x+-+15+
Subtract +6x+ from both sides
+x+%2B+12+%3E+-15+
Subtract +12+ from both sides
+x+%3E+-27+
-------------
You can check answer. If +x+=+-27+
the inequality is not true, so
+7x+%2B+12+%3E+6x+-+15+
+7%2A%28-27%29+%2B+12+%3E+6%2A%28-27%29+-+15+
+-189+%2B+12+%3E+-162+-+15+
+-177+%3E+-177+
and this is not true. Now check with
+x+-+-26+ and that should be true
