I believe that the answer you are looking for is -8>k, or k<-8.

Solution/Explanation:

First, writing out the inequality,

-5(k+4) > 2-(3k+6)

Next, using the Distributive Property on both sides,

-5k-20 > 2-3k-6

Simplifying the right side just a little bit more,

-5k-20 > -3k-4

Adding 5k to both sides,

-5k+5k-20 > -3k+5k-4

-20 > 2k-4

Now, adding 4 to both sides,

-20+4 > 2k-4+4

-16 > 2k

Finally, dividing 2 from both sides,

So, therefore, the final answer is -8>k, or k<-8.

I hope this helped answer your question. Enjoy your day, and take care!
