1<3x+2


To solve the inequation above, we have to add the value


 (-1) in order to cancel the free term, 1, from the left side.


1-1<3x+2-1


0<3x+1


We'll move the unknown term in the left side of the inequality:


-3x<1


We'll multiply the inequality with the value (-1), therefore the inequality will become opposite :


3x>-1


x>-(1/3)


That means that  the solution of the first inequation will be the interval (-1/3, infinity).


3x+2<12


To solve the inequation above, we have to add the value


 (-12) in order to cancel the free term, 12, from the right side.


3x+2-12<12-12


3x-10<0


We'll move the value (-10), with the opposite sign, to the right side:


3x<10


x<10/3


The solution of the second inequality is the interval of values (- infinity, 10/3).


It's important to not miss the aspect of simultaneity of both inequations, so that the common solution of the double inequation is found by intersecting ranges of values:


(-1/3, infinity)intersected(- infinity,10/3)=(-1/3, 10/3)
