To find the opposite of 7-2x, find the opposite of each term.
20-7+2x>2\left(5-4x\right)
The opposite of -2x is 2x.
13+2x>2\left(5-4x\right)
Subtract 7 from 20 to get 13.
13+2x>10-8x
Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by 5-4x.
13+2x+8x>10
Add 8x to both sides.
13+10x>10
Combine 2x and 8x to get 10x.
10x>10-13
Subtract 13 from both sides.
10x>-3
Subtract 13 from 10 to get -3.
x>-\frac{3}{10}
Divide both sides by 10. Since 10 is positive, the inequality direction remains the same.
