Explanation:

Step1: Add 7 to both sides

$2x - 7 + 7 > -15 + 7$
$2x > -8$

Step2: Divide by 2 on both sides

$\frac{2x}{2} > \frac{-8}{2}$
$x > -4$

Answer:

Inequality Notation: $x > -4$

For the number line: Draw an open circle at $-4$, then draw an arrow pointing to the right (towards positive infinity) to represent all values greater than $-4$.
