Part 1: Solve the inequality 2(x + 6) or equal to 3x - 2 and show all of your work. You can use = to represent the greater than or equal to symbol.
Part 2: Use complete sentences to describe the graph of the solution from Part 1. Be sure to include the type of circle and which direction the shading will be.

1.  Use the distributive property to remove the parentheses on the left.
2.  Subtract 3x from both sides
3.  Subtract 12 from both sides.
4.  Divide both sides by -1  (Don't forget to reverse the inequality symbol.)
