Explanation:

Order of Operations: BPEMDAS

Step 1: Write out equation

8x - 6(x + 1) < 4(2x - 9)

Step 2: Distribute parenthesis

8x - 6x - 6 < 8x - 36

Step 3: Combine like terms

2x - 6 < 8x - 36

Step 4: Subtract 2x on both sides

-6 < 6x - 36

Step 5: Add 36 on both sides

30 < 6x

Step 6: Divide both sides by 6

5 < x

Step 7: Rewrite

x > 5
