8-2%283-x%29%3C12 Start with the given inequality.


8-6%2B2x%3C12 Distribute.


2x%2B2%3C12 Combine like terms on the left side.


2x%3C12-2 Subtract 2 from both sides.


2x%3C10 Combine like terms on the right side.


x%3C%2810%29%2F%282%29 Divide both sides by 2 to isolate x.


x%3C5 Reduce.


----------------------------------------------------------------------

Answer:

So the solution is x%3C5
