Question 375112


{{{8-6x<8x-4x}}} Start with the given inequality.



{{{8-6x<4x}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{-6x<4x-8}}} Subtract {{{8}}} from both sides.



{{{-6x-4x<-8}}} Subtract {{{4x}}} from both sides.



{{{-10x<-8}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{x>(-8)/(-10)}}} Divide both sides by {{{-10}}} to isolate {{{x}}}. note: Remember, the inequality sign flips when we divide both sides by a negative number. 



{{{x>4/5}}} Reduce.

Answer:


So the solution is {{{x>4/5}}}
