Answer

$x\gt-\frac{3}{4} $

Work Step by Step

The given inequality is $\Rightarrow -4(x+6)\lt 2(2x-9)$ Use distributive property. $\Rightarrow -4x-24\lt 4x-18$ Add $18$ to each side. $\Rightarrow -4x-24+18\lt 4x-18+18$ Simplify. $\Rightarrow -4x-6\lt 4x$ Add $4x$ to each side. $\Rightarrow -4x-6+4x\lt 4x+4x$ Simplify. $\Rightarrow -6\lt 8x$ Divide each side by $8$. $\Rightarrow \frac{-6}{8}\lt \frac{8x}{8}$ Simplify. $\Rightarrow -\frac{3}{4}\lt x$ Hence, the solution is $x\gt-\frac{3}{4} $.
