Answer/ Step-by-step explanation:

12>6(12x+2)

Divide both sides by 6. Since 6 is positive, the inequality direction remains the same.

12/6 >12x+2

Divide 12 by 6 to get 2.

2>12x+2

Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side. This changes the sign direction.

12x+2<2

Subtract 2 from both sides.

12x<2−2

Subtract 2 from 2 to get 0.

12x<0

Product of two numbers is <0 if one is >0 and the other is <0. Since 12>0, x must be <0.

x<0
