Answer: x > 3

Explanation:

We have the inequality:

-4*(2*x - 7) < 10 - 2*x

We want to find the possible values for x.

first, we expand the left side.

-8x + 28 < 10 - 2x

now we want to have all the terms with x in one side and the terms without x in the other side.

-8x + 2x < 10 - 28

-6x < -18

now we divide both sides by -6, as we divide by a negative number, the direction of the inequality changes:

x > 18/6 = 3

x > 3

This means that x must be larger than 3.
