-2(3x + 2) > -8x + 6

-6x - 4 > -8x + 6
+ 4 + 4
-6x > -8x + 10
+8x +8x
2x > 10
÷ 2 ÷2
x > 5

x is greater than 5, let us assume that x = 6.

-2(3x+2) > -8x + 6
-2((3*6)+2) > -8(6) + 6
-2(18+2) > -48 + 6
-2(20) > -42
-40 > -42 correct!

What value of x is in the solution set of –2(3x + 2) > –8x + 6?
