Answer

$(-3,\infty)$

Work Step by Step

$$-2(x-1)-12<2(x+1)$$ Remove both parenthesis: $$-2x+2-12<2x+2$$ Group variables on the left and numbers on the right: $$-2x-2x<2-2+12$$ $$-4x<12$$ Divide both sides by $-4$ and change inequality sign: $$x>12:(-4)$$ $$x>-3$$ Interval Notation: $$(-3,\infty)$$
