Let us say the two numbers are x and y and x>y.
The data we have are;
Difference between the numbers are 12.
3 times larger number is equal to 7 times smaller number.
Then we can write;
 ----(1)
 ----(2)
From (1) we can say 
Then substituting  to (2) gives;




Then;


400x1.036 then that multiplied by 1.036 and every answer just multiply by that
Given:
The inequality is:
To find:
The solution of the given inequality.
Solution:
We have,
Multiply both sides by 3.
Divide both sides by -8 and change the sign of inequality.
It can be written as:
Therefore, the correct option is A.
-3x + 6 + 12 y. I am afraid that there are no like terms to combine, and it is neither an equation nor an inequality.
Hope this Helps!
