To find equivalent inequalities you have to work the inequality given.
The first step is transpose on of sides to have an expression in one side and zero in the other side:
x - 6 x + 7
--------- ≥ --------
x + 5 x + 3
=>
x - 6 x + 7
--------- - -------- ≥ 0
x + 5 x + 3
=>
(x - 6) (x + 3) - (x + 7) (x + 5)
--------------------------------------- ≥ 0
(x + 5) (x + 3)
=>
x^2 - 3x - 18 - x^2 - 12x - 35
--------------------------------------- ≥ 0
(x + 5) (x + 3)
15x + 53
- ------------------- ≥ 0
(x + 5) (x + 3)
That is an equivalent inequality. Sure you can arrange it to find many other equivalent inequalities. That is why you should include the list of choices. Anyway from this point it should be pretty straigth to arrange the terms until making the equivalent as per the options.

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: A) 0 triangles
============================================================
Explanation:
Adding up the two smaller sides gets us 9.6+11.6 = 21.2, but this result is not larger than the third side of 21.2
For a triangle to be possible, we need to be able to add any two sides and have the sum be larger than the third remaining side. This is the triangle inequality theorem.
I recommend you cutting out slips of paper with these side lengths and trying it out yourself. You'll find that a triangle cannot be formed. The 9.6 cm and the 11.6 cm sides will combine to form a straight line that is 21.2 cm, but a triangle won't form.
As another example of a triangle that can't be formed is a triangle with sides of 3 cm, 5 cm, and 8 cm. The 3 and 5 cm sides add to 3+5 = 8 cm, but this does not exceed the third side. The best we can do is form a straight line but that's not a triangle.
In short, zero triangles can be formed with the given side lengths of 9.6 cm, 11.6 cm, and 21.2 cm
