    3|x+2|-12<0

    First isolate the |x+2|.

    |x+2|<4

    Now x+2<4 and x+2>-4, or another way to write it is -4<x+2<4.

    -6<x<2 is your answer.

    3|x-2|-12<0 add 12 on both sides

    +12 +12

    3|x-2|<12 divide by 3

    - -

    3 3

    x-2> 4 plus 2 on both sides

    +2 +2

    x> 6 answer
