Answer:

x > -5

Make a number line. Put a circle on the number line at -5 and then darken an arrow on the number line going to the right of -5

Explanation:

-8-8(2x-4) > -5(4x -5) -21 Distribute the -8 and -5

-8 - 16x + 32 > -20x +25 -21 Combine like terms

-16x + 24 > -20x +4 Add 20x to both sides

4x + 24 > 4 Subtract 24 from both sides

4x > -20 Divide both sides by 4

x > -5
