To solve the inequality \(|x + 3a| > 2|x - 2a|\), we consider the non-modular inequality \((x + 3a)^2 > (2(x - 2a))^2\).
Expanding both sides, we have:
\((x + 3a)^2 = x^2 + 6ax + 9a^2\)
\((2(x - 2a))^2 = 4(x^2 - 4ax + 4a^2) = 4x^2 - 16ax + 16a^2\)
Thus, the inequality becomes:
\(x^2 + 6ax + 9a^2 > 4x^2 - 16ax + 16a^2\)
Rearranging terms gives:
\(-3x^2 + 22ax - 7a^2 > 0\)
Solving the quadratic equation \(-3x^2 + 22ax - 7a^2 = 0\), we find the critical values:
\(x = \frac{1}{3}a\) and \(x = 7a\).
Therefore, the solution to the inequality is:
\(\frac{1}{3}a < x < 7a\).
