Answer:
x > [tex]\frac{1}{6}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
- 2 (8x - 4) < 2x + 5 ← distribute left side
- 16x + 8 < 2x + 5 ( subtract 2x from both sides )
- 18x + 8 < 5 ( subtract 8 from both sides )
- 18x < - 3
Divide both sides by - 18, reversing the symbol as a result of dividing by a negative quantity.
x > [tex]\frac{-3}{-18}[/tex] , that is
x > [tex]\frac{1}{6}[/tex]
