what is the solution of -2(8x-4)<2x+5
$$-2(8x-4)<2x+5 \\-16x+8 < 2x+5 \\-16x+8 < 2x+5 \quad | \quad +16x\\8 < 2x+16x+5 \\8 < 18x+5 \\8 < 18x+5 \quad | \quad -5\\8 -5< 18x \\3< 18x \\3< 18x \quad | \quad :18\\\frac{3}{18}< x \\\frac{1}{6}< x \\x > \frac{1}{6}$$
-2(8x-4)<2x+5 simplify the left side
-16x + 8 < 2x + 5 subtract 5, add 16x to both sides
3 < 18x divide both sides by 18
3/18 < x reduce 3/18
1/6 < x
or, expressed another way......
x > 1/6
