Answer:


\large\boxed{x>3\to x\in(3,\ \infty)}

Explanation:


3(8-4x)<6(x-5)\qquad\text{use distributive property}\\\\(3)(8)+(3)(-4x)<(6)(x)+(6)(-5)\\\\24-12x<6x-30\qquad\text{subtract 24 from both sides}\\\\-12x<6x-54\qquad\text{subtract 6x from both sides}\\\\-18x<-54\qquad\text{change the signs}\\\\18x>54\qquad\text{divide both sides by 18}\\\\x>3
