Given the inequality:
$$3 x + 12 > 0$$
To solve this inequality, we must first solve the corresponding equation:
$$3 x + 12 = 0$$
Solve:
Given the linear equation:
3*x+12 = 0
Move free summands (without x)
from left part to right part, we given:
$$3 x = -12$$
Divide both parts of the equation by 3
x = -12 / (3)
$$x_{1} = -4$$
$$x_{1} = -4$$
This roots
$$x_{1} = -4$$
is the points with change the sign of the inequality expression.
First define with the sign to the leftmost point:
$$x_{0} < x_{1}$$
For example, let's take the point
$$x_{0} = x_{1} - \frac{1}{10}$$
=
$$-4 + - \frac{1}{10}$$
=
$$- \frac{41}{10}$$
substitute to the expression
$$3 x + 12 > 0$$
$$\frac{\left(-41\right) 3}{10} + 12 > 0$$
-3/10 > 0
Then
$$x < -4$$
no execute
the solution of our inequality is:
$$x > -4$$
