Answer:
x > 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
- 8x + 2x - 16 < - 5x + 7x ← simplify both sides
- 6x - 16 < 2x ( subtract 2x from both sides )
- 8x - 16 < 0 ( add 16 to both sides )
- 8x < - 16 ( divide both sides by - 8 )
Remembering to reverse the symbol as a consequence of dividing by a negative value.
x > 2
