Answer:

x < 3
(1)/(2)

Explanation:

I cannot see a number line, but the solution can be found by:

5 + 8x < 3(2x+4) Distribute the 3

5 + 8x < 6x + 12 Subtract 6x from both sides

5 + 2x < 12 Subtract 5 from both sides

2x < 7 Divide both sides by 2

x <
(7)/(2)

or

x < 3
(1)/(2) This means that all of the numbers less than 3 1/2 are answers.
