Answer:

x < 3

Explanation:

-2(5-4x)<6x-4

In this inequality, we are to solve for x using the steps below;

-2(5-4x)<6x-4

Expand the parentheses on the left hand side of the expression;

-10 + 8x < 6x - 4

Collect like terms to both sides;

-10 + 4 < 6x - 8x

-6 < -2x

Divide both sides by - 2; Note the sign of the inequality changes;

3 > x or x < 3
