Answer:
x < 8
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a special case, so at the end of the equation we'll flip the sign.
Distribute:
2 * 2x = 4x
2 * -8 = -16
4x - 16
4 * 3x = 12x
4 * -12 = -48
12x - 48
4x - 16 > 12x - 48.
Subtract 12 from both sides.
12 - 12 = 0
4x - 12x = -8x
-8x - 16 > -48
The additive inverse of subtraction is addition so do -16 + -48, which equals -64
-8x/-8 = x
-64/-8 = 8
Now this is where we flip our sign so here we go :)
x < 8
There.
Hope this helped and sorry if I'm wrong.
