2x-8-3<-1-3\left(x-2\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by x-4.
2x-11<-1-3\left(x-2\right)
Subtract 3 from -8 to get -11.
2x-11<-1-3x+6
Use the distributive property to multiply -3 by x-2.
2x-11<5-3x
Add -1 and 6 to get 5.
2x-11+3x<5
Add 3x to both sides.
5x-11<5
Combine 2x and 3x to get 5x.
5x<5+11
Add 11 to both sides.
5x<16
Add 5 and 11 to get 16.
x<\frac{16}{5}
Divide both sides by 5. Since 5 is positive, the inequality direction remains the same.
