Question

Solve the inequality : 3x+12

Answer 1

x < -6

Step-by-step explanation:

`\begin{gathered} 3x\text{ + 12 < x} \\ \text{collect like terms:} \\ 3x\text{ - x + 12 < 0} \end{gathered}`

Solve the expression:

`\begin{gathered} 2x\text{ + 12 < 0} \\ Bring\text{ the constant to the other side} \\ 2x\text{ < -12} \\ \text{Divide through by the coefficient of x (2)} \\ (2x)/(2)\text{ <}(-12)/(2) \\ x\text{ < -6} \end{gathered}`
