$x < - \frac{1}{2}$ $x< -1/2$

Explanation:

$distribute bracket on left side$ $"distribute bracket on left side"$

$- 2 x - 8 > 6 x - 4$ $-2x-8>6x-4$

$subtract 6 x from both sides$ $"subtract "6x" from both sides"$

$- 2 x - 6 x - 8 > - 4$ $-2x-6x-8> -4$

$- 8 x - 8 > - 4$ $-8x-8> -4$

$add 8 to both sides$ $"add 8 to both sides"$

$- 8 x > 4$ $-8x>4$

$divide both sides by - 8$ $"divide both sides by "-8$

$x < - \frac{1}{2}$ $x< -1/2$

$x \in (- \infty, - \frac{1}{2}) \leftarrow in interval notation$ $x in(-oo,-1/2)larrcolor(blue)"in interval notation"$
