Answer: The steps are not correct in several places. The correct result is "x > 2"

Explanation:

First row: they multiply both sides by 2, but on the right hand side the multiplication should act on the entire term "(3-2x)" so 2(3-2x)=6-4x

Second row should be now: 3x-8 > 6-4x | now adding 8 to both sides:

Third row should look like this : 3x > 14 - 4x

Fourth row: we want to bring the term 4x to the left so it should be something like this:

3x > 14 - 4x | add "4x" to both sides

which results in

3x + 4x > 14 - 4x + 4x

7 x > 14 | divide both sides by 7

x > 14/7

x > 2

Let me know if you have questions
