$t > 0$ graph{2 ( x + 3 ) < 3 ( x + 2 ) [-10, 10, -5, 5]}

$2t+6 < 3t + 6$
$-t < 0$
$t > 0$

$t>0$

First lets simplify the inequality:

$2(t+3) < 3(t+2)$
$2t + 6 < 3t + 6$ -----> opening the brackets

$2t-3t < 6-6$

$-t<0$

When multiplying or dividing by a negative number, the inequality sign changes, from $<$ to $>$ .

Hence we get:

$t>0$

Check the answer:
Take $t = 2$

$2(2+3) < 3(2+2)$ #

$(2xx5) < (3 xx 4)$

$10 < 12$
