\mathsf{15 + x \geq 12 - y}\\\mathsf{x + 15 \geq 12 - y}\\\mathsf{x + 15 \geq -y + 12}\\\\\large\text{ADD -15 to BOTH SIDES}\\\mathsf{x + 15 + (-15) \geq -y + 12 - 15}\\\\\large\text{SIMPLIFY IT!}\\\\\mathsf{x \geq -y - 3}\\\\\huge\text{Therefore, your answer is: \boxed{\mathsf{x\geq-y - 3}}}\huge\checkmark
