the element -12 is in the solution of the given inequality

Explanation:

We will verify the inequality for each term by substituting it in x, then

color(red)(x=18)->2/cancel3*cancel18^6+3<-2*18-7->15<-43 is not true

color(red)(x=6)->2/cancel3*cancel6^2+3<-2*6-7->7<-19 is not true

color(red)(x=-3)->2/cancel3*cancel(-3)^(-1)+3<-2*(-3)-7->1<-1 is not true

color(red)(x=-12)->2/cancel3*cancel(-12)^(-4)+3<-2*(-12)-7->-5<17 is true,

Then the element -12 is in the solution of the given inequality.

On the other hand, if we solve the inequality, we will get:

x<-15/4

All the elements in A except -12 are not in the solution
