Question

What’s the answer to 4x(x+3) < -24

Answer 1

The answer to the inequality is expressed as x< 1 and x< -4

What are inequalities?

Inequalities are mathematical expressions having both sides unequal or rather not equivalent to each other.

Given the inequality;

4x (x+3) < -24

First, expand the bracket

4x² + 12x < -  24

Let's turn to quadratic inequality

4x² + 12x - 24 < 0

Factorize further

4 ( x² + 3x - 4) < 0

4 ( x² + 4x - x - 4) < 0

4 ( x(x + 4) - 1 (x + 4) ) < 0

4(x - 1) ( x + 4) < 0

expand the bracket

4x - 4 < 0

x < 1

And

4x + 16 < 0

x < -4

Thus, the answer to the inequality is expressed as x< 1 and x< -4
