1-2x-8<7+3x
Use the distributive property to multiply -2 by x+4.
-7-2x<7+3x
Subtract 8 from 1 to get -7.
-7-2x-3x<7
Subtract 3x from both sides.
-7-5x<7
Combine -2x and -3x to get -5x.
-5x<7+7
Add 7 to both sides.
-5x<14
Add 7 and 7 to get 14.
x>-\frac{14}{5}
Divide both sides by -5. Since -5 is negative, the inequality direction is changed.
