12=-2(x+8)
-----------
Simplify and flip
12=-2(x+8)
12=(-2)(x)+(-2)(8)
12=-2x+-16
12=-2x-16
-2x-16=12
-------------
Add 16 on each side
-2x-16+16=12+16
-2x=28
-----------------
Now, divide each side by -2
-2x ÷ -2 = 28 ÷ -2
x = -14

Answer:

x > 22

Step-by-step explanation:

Hey there!

Well to solve,

52 - 3x < -14

we need to single out x

52 - 3x < -14

-52 to both sides

-3x < -66

Divide both sides by -3

x > 22

The < changes to > because the variable number is a - being divided.

Hope this helps :)
