Explanation:

-3|2a - 4| >= -12

3|2a - 4| <= 12 | when we multiply by a

| negative number, then

| the inequality reverses.

|2a - 4| <= 4

that is only the case for

0 <= a <= 4

because

|0 - 4| = 4

|2 - 4| = 2

|4 - 4| = 0

|6 - 4| = 2

|8 - 4| = 4

any value for a < 0 or > 4 leads to expressions > 4.
