Solve the inequality \( 6x + \frac{7}{3} > \frac{2}{7}x - 7 \).

Move all terms involving \( x \) to one side and constants to the other side.

Subtract \( \frac{2}{7}x \) from both sides: \[ 6x - \frac{2}{7}x + \frac{7}{3} > -7 \]

Combine like terms.

To combine \( 6x \) and \( -\frac{2}{7}x \), find a common denominator: \[ 6x = \frac{42}{7}x \] Thus: \[ \frac{42}{7}x - \frac{2}{7}x = \frac{40}{7}x \] The inequality becomes: \[ \frac{40}{7}x + \frac{7}{3} > -7 \]

Move the constant term to the other side.

Subtract \( \frac{7}{3} \) from both sides: \[ \frac{40}{7}x > -7 - \frac{7}{3} \]

Simplify the right-hand side.

Find a common denominator for \(-7\) and \(-\frac{7}{3}\): \[ -7 = -\frac{21}{3} \] Thus: \[ -7 - \frac{7}{3} = -\frac{21}{3} - \frac{7}{3} = -\frac{28}{3} \] The inequality becomes: \[ \frac{40}{7}x > -\frac{28}{3} \]

Solve for \( x \).

Multiply both sides by \( \frac{7}{40} \) (the reciprocal of \( \frac{40}{7} \)): \[ x > -\frac{28}{3} \cdot \frac{7}{40} \] Simplify the multiplication: \[ x > -\frac{196}{120} \] Reduce the fraction: \[ x > -\frac{49}{30} \]

The solution to the inequality is: \[ \boxed{x > -\frac{49}{30}} \]

The solution to the inequality is: \[ \boxed{x > -\frac{49}{30}} \]
