Answer:

x > - 8 or x < 2

Explanation:

Given

- 8 < 2(x + 4) or - 3x + 4 > x - 4

Solve each part separately

- 8 < 2(x + 4) ← divide both sides by 2

- 4 < x + 4 ( subtract 4 from both sides )

- 8 < x , thus

x > - 8

OR

- 3x + 4 > x - 4 ( subtract x from both sides )

- 4x + 4 > - 4 ( subtract 4 from both sides )

- 4x > - 8

Divide both sides by - 4, reversing the symbol as a result of dividing by a negative quantity

x < 2

Solution is x > - 8 or x < 2
