Start with the given inequality


Distribute


Add 12 to both sides


Add 6x to both sides


Combine like terms on the left side

Divide both sides by -2 to isolate x (note: Remember, dividing both sides by a negative number flips the inequality sign)



Divide

So our answer in interval notation is

[-1,)
