Explanation:

Step 1: Define

4(2x - 4) > 2(x + 4)

Step 2: Solve for x

  1. Distribute: 8x - 16 > 2x + 8
  2. Subtract 2x on both sides: 6x - 16 > 8
  3. Add 16 to both sides: 6x > 24
  4. Divide 6 on both sides: x > 4

Here we see that any value x greater than 4 would work as a solution to the inequality.
