1/6
Step-by-step explanation:

-2 (8x - 4) < 2x + 5

Distribute

-16x + 8 < 2x+5

Add 16x to each side

-16x+16x + 8 < 2x+16x+5

8 < 18x + 5

Subtract 5 from each side

8-5 <18x

3 <18x

Divide by 18

3/18
1/6

-2 (8x - 4) < 2x + 5

Expand the brackets.

-16x + 8 < 2x + 5

Add - 2x and - 8 on both sides.

-16x - 2x<5-8

-18x<-3

Multiply both sides with - 1 (reverse the inequalty).

18x>3

Divide 18 into both sides.

18x/18>3/18

x>1/6
