Answer:

[tex]x < -2[/tex].

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that [tex]3x + 6 < 12[/tex] and [tex]6x + 24 < 12[/tex].

For [tex]3x + 6 < 12[/tex],

[tex]3x < 12-6[/tex]

[tex]3x < 6[/tex]

Divide both sides by 2.

[tex]x < 2[/tex]      ...(i)

For [tex]6x + 24 < 12[/tex],

[tex]6x< 12-24[/tex]

[tex]6x< -12[/tex]

Divide both sides by 6.

[tex]x < -2[/tex]      ...(ii)

From (i) and (ii), we get

[tex]x < 2\text{ and }x<-2[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow x<-2[/tex]

Therefore, the required answer is [tex]x < -2[/tex].
