Answer:


-1 > x

Explanation:


12x > 7(4x + 5) - 19 \\ 12x > 28x + 35 - 19 \\ \\ 12x > 28x + 16 \\ - 28x \: - 28x \\ \\ -16x > 16 \\ \\ x < -1

* Whenever you multiply\divide by a negative, you reverse the inequality symbol.

The above answer is written in reverse, which is the exact same result.

I am joyous to assist you anytime.
