Given the inequality:

`4x<8`

Let's solve for x.

To solve for x in the given inequality, divide both sides by 4:

`\begin{gathered} (4x)/(4)<(8)/(4) \\ \\ x<2 \end{gathered}`

Therefore, the simplified expression is:

`x<2`

ANSWER:

• x < 2.

The property utilized is the multiplication property of inequality.
