Answer:

x < -7/2

Explanation:

First, perform the indicated multiplication:

4(1-2x)>32 becomes 4 - 8x > 32.

Next, isolate the -8x term by subtracting 4 from both sides of this inequality:

-8x > 28

Finally, solve for x by dividing both sides by -8. This requires that we reverse the direction of the inequality sign:

x < -28/8, or, after reduction, x < -7/2
