Answer:

x>-6

Explanation:

Start with the original equation: 3(x-2)-(1-x)>2x-7

Use the distributive property on 3(x-2) to get:

3x-6-(1-x)>2x-7

Use the distributive property on -(1-x) to get:

3x-6-1+x >2x-7

Combine like terms to get:

4x+5>2x-7

subtract 5 from both sides to get:

4x>2x-12

subtract 2x from both sides to get:

2x>-12

divide both sides by 2 to get:

x>-6
