Answer: x > -24

Explanation:

To solve for x, we will isolate the variable. To do this, we will use inverse operations.

Given:


\displaystyle (-x)/(12) +13 < 15

Subtract 13 from both sides of the equation:


\displaystyle (-x)/(12) < 2

Multiply both sides of the equation by 12:


-x < 24

Divide both sides of the equation by -1:

Since we are dividing by a negative, we "flip" the direction of the sign.


x > -24
