we have the inequality
12x > 3(5x-2)-15
step 1
apply distributive property right side
12x > 15x-6-15
combine like terms right side
12x > 15x-21
step 2
Adds both sides 21
12x+21 > 15x-21+21
simplify
12x+21 > 15x
step 3
subtract 12x both sides
12x+21-12x > 15x-12x
21 > 3x
step 4
Divide by 3 both sides
21/3 > 3x/3
7 > x
Rewrite
x < 7
