Solve the inequality by showing all work.

-2x-7>=-3


Solve like the example problem attached.

**Solving the Inequality for \( x \):**

1. \(-4 (7x - 3) < 12\)
2. \(-4 (7x) - 4 (-3) < 12\)
3. \(-28x + 12 < 12\)
4. \(-28x + 12 - 12 < 12 - 12\)
5. \(-28x < 0\)
6. \(\frac{-28x}{-28} > \frac{0}{-28}\)
7. \(x > 0\) ✔️

**Check:**

Let \( x = 1 \)

1. \(-4 (7x - 3) < 12\)
2. \(-4 (7(1) - 3) < 12\)
3. \(-4 (7 - 3) < 12\)
4. \(-4 (4) < 12\)
5. \(-16 < 12\)

The initial inequality holds true, verifying that \( x > 0 \) is a valid solution.
