What is the solution to -2(8x - 4) < 2x + 5?

x > 1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

Perform the indicated multiplication.  Then:

-16x + 8 < 2x + 5

Combining the x terms, we get:

8 < 18x + 5.

Simplifying further, we get:

3 < 18x, so that   3/18 < x, or x > 1/6

answer: all the values are within because it has a pattern that repeats from -6 to 4.

good luck!
