Expanding: 2x2+16x+30<3x2+19x+6

Combine like terms: x2+3x24>0

Quadratic formula: x=3±1052, which are the two roots r and s, used in the factoring of the quadratic (x - r)(x - s) = x^2 + 3x - 24.

To be positive, we take the extreme values in which both (x - r) and (x - s) are positive or both negative, so our solution interval is:

(inf,31052) U (3+1052,inf)
