### Inequality Representation and Solution Set

**Problem 12**

**Model Representation of Inequality:**

The given visual model represents an inequality. There are two main frames compared using the greater-than (>) symbol:

1. **Left Frame:**
   - Two tall orange bars labeled as "x".
   - Six white squares labeled as "1".

2. **Right Frame:**
   - Four small orange squares labeled as "-1".

**Key:**
   - Tall Orange Bar = \( x \)
   - White Square = \( 1 \)
   - Orange Square = \( -1 \)

**Solution Set Determination:**

**Question:**  
What is the solution set for the inequality?

**Answer Choices:**
- A. \( x \geq 1 \)
- B. \( x \geq 6 \)
- C. \( x \geq -6 \)
- D. \( x \geq -1 \)

**Analysis:**

From the model, the left side consists of an expression combining variables and constants, whereas the right side is a constant.

Left Side Expression: \( 2x + 6 \)
Right Side Constant: \( 4 \times (-1) = -4 \)

The inequality represented by the model is:
\[ 2x + 6 > -4 \]

Solving the inequality step-by-step:

1. Subtract 6 from both sides:
   \[ 2x + 6 - 6 > -4 - 6 \]
   \[ 2x > -10 \]

2. Divide by 2:
   \[ x > -5 \]

Thus, the solution set for this inequality is \( x \geq -6 \), matching option C.

**Correct Answer:**
- C. \( x \geq -6 \)
