Answer

$(-\displaystyle \infty,-\frac{21}{2})$.

Work Step by Step

$\displaystyle \frac{x}{3}-\frac{3}{4}-1 \gt \frac{x}{2} \qquad ...$ multiply with 12, the LCD. $4x-9-12 \gt 6x \qquad ...$ add $-4\mathrm{x}$ to both sides, simplify $-21 \gt 2x\qquad ...$ divide with 2 $-\displaystyle \frac{21}{2} \gt x$ or $x \lt -\displaystyle \frac{21}{2}$ The solution set is $(-\displaystyle \infty,-\frac{21}{2})$.
