To solve the inequalities, we'll solve each one separately.
Let's start with 2x - 2 < -12:
Adding 2 to both sides of the inequality, we have:
2x - 2 + 2 < -12 + 2
2x < -10
Now, let's divide both sides by 2:
(2x)/2 < -10/2
x < -5
So the solution to the first inequality is x < -5.
Now let's solve 2x + 3 > 7:
Subtracting 3 from both sides of the inequality, we have:
2x + 3 - 3 > 7 - 3
2x > 4
Now dividing both sides by 2:
(2x)/2 > 4/2
x > 2
So the solution to the second inequality is x > 2.
Therefore, the solution to the system of inequalities is x < -5 or x > 2.
2x-2<-12\ or\ 2x+3>7
