Answer:

x < 3

Explanation:

Use distributive property to distribute 3(2x-4)

6x - 12 + 4x < 18

Combine like terms

10x - 12 < 18

Plus 12 on both sides to get rid of -12

10x < 30

Divide by 10 on both sides to isolate x

x < 3

Hope this helps :)

Have a great day!

First of all, we should use the Distributive Property:

3(2x-4)+4x<18

6x-12+4x<18

10x-12<18

10x<18+12

10x<30

Divide both sides by 10 in order to isolate x:

x<3
