1. Problem Description

The problem requires solving the inequality x+12x+2|x+1| \ge 2|x+2|. Additionally, there is an expression 121118+3415x12\frac{11}{18}+3\frac{4}{15}x mentioned, but there is no relation between the inequality and the expression. So, we solve the inequality x+12x+2|x+1| \ge 2|x+2|.

2. Solution Steps

We consider the inequality x+12x+2|x+1| \ge 2|x+2|. To solve this inequality, we consider different cases based on the values of xx.
Case 1: x1x \ge -1. Then x+10x+1 \ge 0 and x+2>0x+2 > 0, so x+1=x+1|x+1| = x+1 and x+2=x+2|x+2| = x+2.
The inequality becomes x+12(x+2)x+1 \ge 2(x+2), which simplifies to x+12x+4x+1 \ge 2x+4.
Subtracting xx from both sides gives 1x+41 \ge x+4, so x3x \le -3.
Since we assumed x1x \ge -1, and now x3x \le -3, there is no solution in this case because 1x3-1 \le x \le -3 is not possible.
Case 2: 2x<1-2 \le x < -1. Then x+1<0x+1 < 0, so x+1=(x+1)=x1|x+1| = -(x+1) = -x-1. Also, x+20x+2 \ge 0, so x+2=x+2|x+2| = x+2.
The inequality becomes x12(x+2)-x-1 \ge 2(x+2), which simplifies to x12x+4-x-1 \ge 2x+4.
Adding xx to both sides gives 13x+4-1 \ge 3x+4.
Subtracting 4 from both sides gives 53x-5 \ge 3x, so x53=123x \le -\frac{5}{3} = -1\frac{2}{3}.
Since we assumed 2x<1-2 \le x < -1 and we have x53x \le -\frac{5}{3}, the solution in this case is 2x53-2 \le x \le -\frac{5}{3}.
Case 3: x<2x < -2. Then x+1<0x+1 < 0, so x+1=(x+1)=x1|x+1| = -(x+1) = -x-1. Also, x+2<0x+2 < 0, so x+2=(x+2)=x2|x+2| = -(x+2) = -x-2.
The inequality becomes x12(x2)-x-1 \ge 2(-x-2), which simplifies to x12x4-x-1 \ge -2x-4.
Adding 2x2x to both sides gives x14x-1 \ge -4.
Adding 1 to both sides gives x3x \ge -3.
Since we assumed x<2x < -2 and we have x3x \ge -3, the solution in this case is 3x<2-3 \le x < -2.
Combining the solutions from the cases:
2x53-2 \le x \le -\frac{5}{3} and 3x<2-3 \le x < -2.
Thus, the solution to the inequality is 3x53-3 \le x \le -\frac{5}{3}.

3. Final Answer

The solution to the inequality x+12x+2|x+1| \ge 2|x+2| is 3x53-3 \le x \le -\frac{5}{3}.
