Question 976487: Can you solve the inequality -2(3+x)<4x+4<8x. I put o but that is wrong

Answer by FrankM(1040) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
-2(3+x)<4x+4<8x
-6-2x<4x+4<8x (distributed the -2 over 3+x)
-2-2x<4x<8x-4 (subtracted 4 from each section)
-2-2x<4x 4x<8x-4 break into 2 inequalities
-2<6x here, x>-1/3
0<4x-4
x>1
Since X has to be greater than -1/3 and greater than 1, the result is x>1
