\[
2(x+4)-8>-4(x-3)+24
\]
The solution set is $\square$ (Type your answer in interval notation )
Solution
Solution Steps
To solve the inequality \(2(x+4)-8 > -4(x-3)+24\), we will first expand and simplify both sides of the inequality. Then, we will collect all terms involving \(x\) on one side and constant terms on the other side. Finally, we will solve for \(x\) and express the solution in interval notation.
Step 1: Distribute and Simplify Both Sides
First, distribute the constants in the expressions on both sides of the inequality:
\[
2(x+4) - 8 > -4(x-3) + 24
\]
Distribute the 2 on the left side:
\[
2x + 8 - 8 > -4(x-3) + 24
\]
Simplify the left side:
\[
2x > -4(x-3) + 24
\]
Distribute the -4 on the right side:
\[
2x > -4x + 12 + 24
\]
Simplify the right side:
\[
2x > -4x + 36
\]
Step 2: Combine Like Terms
Add \(4x\) to both sides to get all the \(x\) terms on one side:
