ANSWER :


\lbrace k|k\in R,k<-13\rbrace

EXPLANATION :

From the given inequality :


3(2k+12)<-42

Simplify and solve the values of k.


\begin{gathered} 3(2k+12)<-42 \\ 6k+36<-42 \\ 6k<-42-36 \\ 6k<-78 \\ k<-(78)/(6) \\ k<-13 \end{gathered}

The solution is all real numbers that are less than -13

In set builder notation :


\mleft\lbrace k|k\in R,k<-13\mright\rbrace
