Answer:

x > -
(3)/(2)

Explanation:

Given

- 3(x - 2) - 3x < 2x + 18 ← distribute parenthesis and simplify left side

- 3x + 6 - 3x < 2x + 18

- 6x + 6 < 2x + 18 ( subtract 2x from both sides )

- 8x + 6 < 18 ( subtract 6 from both sides )

- 8x < 12

Divide both sides by - 8, reversing the symbol as a result of dividing by a negative quantity.

x >
(12)/(-8) , that is

x > -
(3)/(2)
