( − 2 ( 4 ) x − 2 ) < − 8 x + 4

1. Expand.

8x-6-8=4+2x8x−6−8=4+2x

2. Simplify  8x-6-88x−6−8  to  8x-148x−14.

8x-14=4+2x8x−14=4+2x

3. Add 1414 to both sides.

8x=4+2x+148x=4+2x+14

4. Simplify  4+2x+144+2x+14  to  2x+182x+18.

8x=2x+188x=2x+18

5. Subtract 2x2x from both sides.

8x-2x=188x−2x=18

6. Simplify  8x-2x8x−2x  to  6x6x.

6x=186x=18

7.Divide both sides by 66.

x=\frac{18}{6}x=  18/6

8. Simplify  \frac{18}{6}

18  to  33.
