You don&#39;t.  It is impossible to solve an equation if you don&#39;t have an equation in the first place.  However, you &lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;can&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt; determine the solution set for your inequality.


Multiply both sides by *[tex \Large \frac{3}{2}]


Add *[tex \Large -12] to both sides.


Multiply both sides by *[tex \Large -1] but remember to reverse the sense of the inequality because you multiplied by a negative number.


If you did these steps correctly, you should have *[tex \Large x] by itself in the LHS, a &quot;&lt;&quot; sign, and then a positive integer in the RHS.

*[tex \LARGE e^{i\pi} + 1 = 0]
My calculator said it, I believe it, that settles it
