Hello there I hope you are having a great day :)

Your Question, -4(2x + 4) > 8x + 64 Solve for X

1) Expand -8x-16>8x+64

2) Add 16 to both sides -8x-16+16>8x+64+16

3) Simplify -8x>8x+80

4) Subtract 8x from both sides -8x-8x>8x+80-8x

5) Simplify -16x>80

6) Multiply both sides -1 (Reverse the inequality) (-16x) (-1) >80 (-1)

7) Simplify 16x<-80

8) divide both sides by 16 16x/16 < -80/16

9) Simplify x < -5

This should be your answer x < -5

Hopefully that helps you :)
