3\left(4+x\right)+6>2\times 4\left(x+1\right)
Multiply both sides of the equation by 6, the least common multiple of 2,3. Since 6 is positive, the inequality direction remains the same.
12+3x+6>2\times 4\left(x+1\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply 3 by 4+x.
18+3x>2\times 4\left(x+1\right)
Add 12 and 6 to get 18.
18+3x>8\left(x+1\right)
Multiply 2 and 4 to get 8.
18+3x>8x+8
Use the distributive property to multiply 8 by x+1.
18+3x-8x>8
Subtract 8x from both sides.
18-5x>8
Combine 3x and -8x to get -5x.
-5x>8-18
Subtract 18 from both sides.
-5x>-10
Subtract 18 from 8 to get -10.
x<\frac{-10}{-5}
Divide both sides by -5. Since -5 is negative, the inequality direction is changed.
x<2
Divide -10 by -5 to get 2.
