Answer:


x > 6

Explanation:


7x-3(4x-8) < 6x+12-9x

Step 1: Distribute -4 into 4x and -8

7x-12x+24 < 6x+12-9x

Step 2: Combine like terms on both sides

-5x+24 < -3x+12

Step 3: Subtract 24 from both sides

-5x < -3x-12

Step 4: Add 3x to both sides


-2x < -12

Step 5: Divide both sides by -2 (flip inequality sign)


x > 6

Hope this answer helped!
