Answer:

x > 5

Explanation:

Given that:

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

By simplifying

= -6x - 4 > -8x +6 (- sign before bracket will alter the internal signs)

Taking variables (x terms ) on left side and constants on right side

= -6x + 8x > 6 +4

Signs of transferred terms will be changed

= 2x > 10

Dividing both sides by 2 we get

=x > 10/2

= x > 5

I hope it will help you!
