1. Problem Description

The problem asks to solve the inequality x+24>x3+2\frac{x+2}{4} > \frac{x}{3} + 2 and then to graph the solution set.

2. Solution Steps

First, we multiply both sides of the inequality by 12 (the least common multiple of 3 and 4) to eliminate the fractions:
12x+24>12(x3+2)12 \cdot \frac{x+2}{4} > 12 \cdot (\frac{x}{3} + 2)
3(x+2)>4x+243(x+2) > 4x + 24
Now we distribute on the left side:
3x+6>4x+243x + 6 > 4x + 24
Next, we subtract 3x3x from both sides:
6>x+246 > x + 24
Now, we subtract 24 from both sides:
624>x6 - 24 > x
18>x-18 > x
This is equivalent to x<18x < -18.
To graph the solution set, we draw a number line. We place an open circle at -18 to indicate that -18 is not included in the solution set. Then, we shade the number line to the left of -18 to indicate all values less than -

8.

3. Final Answer

The solution is x<18x < -18.
