2\left(3x-2\right)-12<x-1
Multiply both sides of the equation by 4, the least common multiple of 2,4. Since 4 is positive, the inequality direction remains the same.
6x-4-12<x-1
Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by 3x-2.
6x-16<x-1
Subtract 12 from -4 to get -16.
6x-16-x<-1
Subtract x from both sides.
5x-16<-1
Combine 6x and -x to get 5x.
5x<-1+16
Add 16 to both sides.
5x<15
Add -1 and 16 to get 15.
x<\frac{15}{5}
Divide both sides by 5. Since 5 is positive, the inequality direction remains the same.
x<3
Divide 15 by 5 to get 3.
