a problem on inequality

Topic:-Inequality
What is inequality is defined along with a example in this math help
An inequality is a statement about the relative size or order of two objects, or about whether they are the same or not (See also: equality). Inequality rules are
  • The notation a < b means that a is less than b.
  • The notation a > b means that a is greater than b.
  • The notation ab means that a is not equal to b, but does not say that one is greater than the other or even that they can be compared in size.
In each statement above, a is not equal to b. These relations are known as strict inequalities. The notation a < b may also be read as "a is strictly less than b".

y-7 > -12
