Answer:
x = ± 1
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
3(x² - 4) + 7 = - 2 ( subtract 7 from both sides )
3(x² - 4) = - 9 ( divide both sides by 3 )
x² - 4 = - 3 ( add 4 to both sides )
x² = 1 ( take the square root of both sides )
x² = ±
= ± 1
Thus
x = - 1, x = 1
X - 1 < = 9 or 2x > = 24
x < = 9 + 1 x > = 24/2
x < = 10 x > = 12
