`\downarrow\downarrow\downarrow`

<><><><><>

[ Step One ] Add 6.5 To Both Sides

`\bold{-5x-6.5+6.5>12+6.5}`

[ Step Two ] Simplify

`\bold{-5x>18.5}`

[ Step Three ] Reverse Both Sides Of Equation By -1

`\bold{\left(-5x\right)\left(-1\right)<18.5\left(-1\right)}`

[ Step Four ] Simplify

`\bold{5x<-18.5}`

[ Step Five ] Divide Both Sides By 5

`\bold{(5x)/(5)<(-18.5)/(5)}`

[ Step Six ] Simplify

`\bold{x<-3.7}`
