Question 623508
This is called an inequality
It says that the left side is less than the right side
Get {{{ x }}} on one side 
{{{ 4(3x-8)+2x<16 }}}
{{{ 12x - 32 + 2x < 16 }}}
{{{ 14x - 32 < 16 }}}
Add {{{ 32 }}} to both sides
{{{ 14x < 48 }}}
{{{ x < 24/7 }}}
-----------
I'll check with a calculator
{{{ 24/7 = 3.4286 }}}
I'll make {{{ x = 3.428 }}} to make the inequality true
{{{ 4(3x-8)+2x<16 }}}
{{{ 4(3*3.428-8)+2*3.428 < 16 }}}
{{{ 4*( 10.284 - 8 ) + 6.856 < 16 }}}
{{{ 4*2.284 + 6.856 < 16 }}}
{{{ 9.136 + 6.856 < 16 }}}
{{{ 15.992 < 16 }}}
This is true, if I didn't miscalculate
