2%28x-2%29%3C-2%281-x%29 Start with the given inequality.


2x-4%3C-2%2B2x Distribute.


2x%3C-2%2B2x%2B4 Add 4 to both sides.


2x-2x%3C-2%2B4 Subtract 2x from both sides.


0x%3C-2%2B4 Combine like terms on the left side.


0x%3C2 Combine like terms on the right side.


0%3C2 Simplify


Since this inequality is ALWAYS true, this means that there are an infinite number of solutions.
