Answer:

A. x>-12

Explanation:

-2x/3+7<15 Subtract 7 on both sides.

-7 -7

-2x/3<8 -2x/3 is equal to -2/3x, so you can simplify to that.

-2/3x<8 Because you have to isolate x, multiply by the reciprocal of the

*-3/2 *-3/2 fraction. This will divide by -2/3 on both sides.

x>-12 Remember, because you multiplied by a negative, you have to flip the inequality sign.

Hope this helps you! Have a nice day c:
