Given the inequality:
$$6 x + 12 \geq 0$$
To solve this inequality, we must first solve the corresponding equation:
$$6 x + 12 = 0$$
Solve:
Given the linear equation:
6*x+12 = 0
Move free summands (without x)
from left part to right part, we given:
$$6 x = -12$$
Divide both parts of the equation by 6
x = -12 / (6)
$$x_{1} = -2$$
$$x_{1} = -2$$
This roots
$$x_{1} = -2$$
is the points with change the sign of the inequality expression.
First define with the sign to the leftmost point:
$$x_{0} \leq x_{1}$$
For example, let's take the point
$$x_{0} = x_{1} - \frac{1}{10}$$
=
$$-2 + - \frac{1}{10}$$
=
$$- \frac{21}{10}$$
substitute to the expression
$$6 x + 12 \geq 0$$
$$\frac{\left(-21\right) 6}{10} + 12 \geq 0$$
-3/5 >= 0
but
-3/5 < 0
Then
$$x \leq -2$$
no execute
the solution of our inequality is:
$$x \geq -2$$
