Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define inequality

2(x - 4) < 12

Step 2: Solve for x

1. Distribute 2:                    2x - 8 < 12
2. Isolate x term:                 2x < 20
3. Isolate x:                          x < 10

Here we see that any number x smaller than 10 would work as a solution of x.
