The equation 7x-12 is less than 4x plus 36 means just what it says

7x - 12 less than 4x + 36

To solve this, treat it like ordinary algebra and solve for x, replacing the equals sign with the less than sign. Remember that if you multiply or divide by a negative number, then the less than sign flips over and becomes the greater than sign.

7x - 12 less than 4x + 36

7x less than 4x + 48

7x - 4x less than 48

3x less than 48

x less than 16
