Answer

a. $ 4-2x\gt 8$ b. $ -4-2x\gt 0$ c. $3-6x\gt 15$ d. $-2+4x\lt -10$

Work Step by Step

Since $1-2x\gt 5$, then; (a) Adding $3$ to each side of the given inequality; $$3+1-2x\gt 5+3\Longrightarrow 4-2x\gt 8$$ (b) Subtracting $5$ from each side of the given inequality; $$1-2x-5\gt 5-5\Longrightarrow -4-2x\gt 0$$ (c) Multiplying each side of the given inequality by $3$; $$3\times(1-2x)\gt 3\times5\Longrightarrow 3-6x\gt 15$$ (d) Multiplying each side of the given inequality by $- 2$; $$-2\times(1-2x)\lt 5\times(-2)\Longrightarrow -2+4x\lt -10.\\ \text{(The inequality symbol will change since a negative number was multiplied to both sides.)}$$
