Solution and Explanation

Given Inequality:

\(6 \le -3(2x - 4) < 12\)


Step 1: Expand the expression

\(-3(2x - 4) = -6x + 12\)

So the inequality becomes:

\(6 \le -6x + 12 < 12\)


Step 2: Subtract 12 from all parts

\(-6 \le -6x < 0\)


Step 3: Divide all parts by −6

(Note: Dividing by a negative number reverses the inequality signs)

\(1 \ge x > 0\)

Rewriting in standard form: 

\(0 < x \le 1\)

Final Answer:

The solution set is 
{ x ∣ 0 < x ≤ 1 }
