Solve the inequality for x. Show each step of the solution.

12X>9 (2X-3) - 15

12x > 18x - 27 - 15

12x > 18x - 42

12x - 18x > - 42

-6x > - 42

x < - 42/-6

two negatives make a positive so now its x < 42/6

Lastly divide 42/6 so it can equal 7

Answer: X < 7.

12x>9 (2x-3) - 15

12x>18x-27-15

12x-18x>-27-15

-6x>-42

"x" must be always positive, therefore we have to change the sign on both sides of the inequality, and we have to change "".

6x<42

x<42/6

x<7

Answer: x<7
