Answer

$(\frac{9}{2}, ∞)$

Work Step by Step

$-2(4x+2) \gt -5[1+2(x-1)]$ Apply distributive property, $-8x-4 \gt -5[1+2x-2]$ $-8x-4 \gt -5[2x-1]$ $-8x-4 \gt -10x+5$ Add $4 $ on both sides. $-8x-4 +4\gt -10x+5+4$ $-8x \gt -10x+9$ Add $10x $ on both sides. $-8x+10x \gt -10x+9+10x$ $2x \gt 9$ Divide by $2$ on both sides. $x \gt \frac{9}{2}$ Interval Notation : $(\frac{9}{2}, ∞)$
