Answer:

c < 7

Explanation:

3(6-5c)-2c>4c-129

You will first multiply 3 with 6-5c which will give you 18 and -15c.

18-15c-2c>4c-129

Then you will subtract 2c from -15c because they're like terms. That will give you -17c.

18-17c>4c-129

Next you will put all the variables to one side. To do this, you will add 17c to 4c. You add 17c because that way, you cancel out the -17c and all the variables will be on one side

18>21c-129

Then you will add 129 to both 18 and -129 so that all of the numbers without variables can go on on side.

147>13c

Finally you divide both 147 and 13c by 13. That should give you the final solution of 7>c, or c<7.
