Since 4x contains the variable to solve for, move it to the left-hand side of the inequality by subtracting 4x from both sides.
2x+2-4x>0
Since 2x and -4x are like terms, add -4x to 2x to get -2x.
-2x+2>0
Since 2 does not contain the variable to solve for, move it to the right-hand side of the inequality by subtracting 2 from both sides.
-2x>-2
Divide each term in the inequality by -2.
-(2x)/(-2)<-(2)/(-2)
Simplify the left-hand side of the inequality by canceling the common factors.
x<-(2)/(-2)
Simplify the right-hand side of the inequality by simplifying each term.
x<1
