Solve the inequality for x. Show each step of the solution.

16x > 12 (2x - 6) - 24

You want to start this problem by handling the parentheses and distributing the 12.

So 16x > 12 (2x - 6) - 24 would become ...

So 16x > 24x - 72 - 24

Next you would combine like terms ...

So 16x > 24x - 96

Then to get rid of the negative you would add 96 to both sides ...

So 16x + 96 > 24x

After that you would subtract 16x from both sides ...

96 > 8x

Lastly, divide by 8 to get x.

12 > x
