Given:
cheese squares w/ 2 grams of protein a piece = x
turkey slices with 3 grams of protein a piece = y
Nina can eat 12 or more grams of protein.

The inequality is:

2x + 3y > 12

I used greater than or equal to because of the statement "12 or more". This means that the minimum number of proteins is equal to 12.
