abs%28%28x%2B2%29%2F4%29%3E=3

%281%2F4%29abs%28x%2B2%29%3E=3

abs%28x%2B2%29%3E=4%2A3

abs%28x%2B2%29%3E=12


Solve for two possibilities from here.
system%28x%2B2%3E=0%2Cx%2B2%3C0%29


If non-negative:
then
x%2B2%3E=12
-
If negative
then
-%28x%2B2%29%3E=12
-
Solve each of them. Make the necessary conclusion.
