Answer:

The answer is


- 1 < x < 4

Explanation:


- 6 < 2x - 4 < 4

First of all add 4 to both sides of the inequality to make 2x stand alone

That's


- 6 + 4 < 2x - 4 + 4 < 4 + 4 \\ - 2 < 2x < 8

Divide both sides of the inequality by 2 inorder to find x

That's


( - 2)/(2) < (2x)/(2) < (8)/(2)

We have the final answer as


- 1 < x < 4

Hope this helps you
