3%28x-2%29%3E4%282x%2B11%29 Start with the given inequality.


3x-6%3E8x%2B44 Distribute.


3x%3E8x%2B44%2B6 Add 6 to both sides.


3x-8x%3E44%2B6 Subtract 8x from both sides.


-5x%3E44%2B6 Combine like terms on the left side.


-5x%3E50 Combine like terms on the right side.


x%3C%2850%29%2F%28-5%29 Divide both sides by -5 to isolate x. note: Remember, the inequality sign flips when we divide both sides by a negative number.


x%3C-10 Reduce.

Answer:

So the solution is x%3C-10

So the answer in interval notation is


Also, the answer in set-builder notation is


Here's the graph of the solution set on the number line:



Note: there is an open circle at the endpoint.
