#q >= -7#

Solve in the same way as for an equation, except if you multiply or divide by a negative number, the inequality sign changes around.

#5 <= q +12#

#5-12 <= q#

#q >= -7#

The actual solution will depend on which type of numbers we are working with.

Real, Integers, natural numbers etc.

Values from -7 and upwards will be included in the solution.
