Just solve as equality then check inequalities
.
2x^2 +4x >15
.
2x^2 +4x-15=0
.
using quadratic formula
.
x=1.91,,,,x=-3.915
.
on a number line this makes three areas
.
x<-3.915,,,,test point (-4),,,checking inequality,,2(-4)^2 +4(-4) >15,,,32-16>15,,16>15,,,ok
.
-3.91515,,,,not true
,
x>1.91,,,,test point (+3),,,2(3)^2+4(3)>15,,18+12>15,,30>15 ,,,ok
.
Therefore,,x>1.91,,,x<-3.915
