Question

graph the solution to the inequality on the number line.
$|6x + 12| < 6$

Explanation:

Step1: Solve the inequality

$$\begin{align*} -6&<6x + 12<6\\ -6-12&<6x+12 - 12<6-12\\ -18&<6x<-6\\ \frac{-18}{6}&<\frac{6x}{6}<\frac{-6}{6}\\ -3&

Step2: Graph on the number line

On the number line, draw an open circle at \(x = - 3\) (because \(x>-3\), \(x
eq - 3\)) and an open circle at \(x=-1\) (because \(x < - 1\), \(x
eq - 1\)). Then shade the region between \(x=-3\) and \(x = - 1\).

Answer:

The solution of the inequality \(|6x + 12|<6\) is \(-3
