Answer:
[tex]x > \frac{1}{6}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Foil the left hand side of the equation:
[tex] - 16x + 8 < 2x + 5[/tex]
2. Isolate the variable (bring all of the x's on one side):
[tex] - 16x < 2x +( 5 - 8)[/tex]
[tex] - 16x - 2x < - 3[/tex]
[tex] - 18x < - 3[/tex]
3. Isolate x by dividing both sides by -18. Remember, when you divide inequalities by a negative number, you have to switch the sign!
[tex] \frac{ - 18x}{ - 18} < - \frac{ - 3}{ - 18} [/tex]
[tex]x > \frac{1}{6} [/tex]
