Final answer:

To express the inequality -2x+20<2x+8 using interval notation, solve for x and then express the solution as an interval: (3, ∞).

Step-by-step explanation:

The given inequality is -2x+20<2x+8.

To express this inequality using interval notation, first solve for x:

-2x+20<2x+8

Subtract 2x from both sides:

-4x+20<8

Subtract 20 from both sides:

-4x<-12

Divide both sides by -4. Remember to reverse the inequality sign since you are dividing by a negative number:

x>3

Now express this solution as an interval:

(3, ∞)
