The distributive property on the Right side of the equation
4 - 5x < 2x + 8
Transpose 5x
4 - 5x < 2x + 8 + 5x
colledting like terms on the right side of the equation
4 < 7x + 8
Transpose 8
4 - 8 < 7x + 8 - 8
- 4 < 7x
Divide both sides of the eqution by 7
- 4 / 7 < 7x / 7
- 4 / 7 < x

Go here and use the on-line page, it has calculators you can use and answers the question, just put in the formula. You have to know which one to use though. Have fun, the more math one has, the higher the paying job one gets.
