#k< -7#

Explanation:

#"distribute parenthesis on left side"#

#8k+12< -44#

#"subtract 12 from both sides"#

#8kcancel(+12)cancel(-12)< -44-12#

#rArr8k< -56#

#"divide both sides by 8"#

#(cancel(8) k)/cancel(8)<(-56)/8#

#rArrk< -7" is the solution"#

#k<-7#
Refer to the explanation.

Explanation:

#2(4k+6) < -44#
Dividing both sides by 2,
#{cancel2(4k+6)}/cancel2 < -22#
#4k+6< -22#
Subtracting 6 from both sides,
#4k<-28#
Dividing both sides by 4,
#k<-28/4#
#:. k<-7#

Hope this helps :)
