Since \(4\times 4=16\), the square root of \(16\) is \(4\).
\[(4+2x)\times 3-8<-4\]
Regroup terms.
\[3(4+2x)-8<-4\]
Add \(8\) to both sides.
\[3(4+2x)<-4+8\]
Simplify \(-4+8\) to \(4\).
\[3(4+2x)<4\]
Divide both sides by \(3\).
\[4+2x<\frac{4}{3}\]
Subtract \(4\) from both sides.
\[2x<\frac{4}{3}-4\]
Simplify \(\frac{4}{3}-4\) to \(-\frac{8}{3}\).
\[2x<-\frac{8}{3}\]
Divide both sides by \(2\).
\[x<-\frac{\frac{8}{3}}{2}\]
Simplify \(\frac{\frac{8}{3}}{2}\) to \(\frac{8}{3\times 2}\).
\[x<-\frac{8}{3\times 2}\]
Simplify \(3\times 2\) to \(6\).
\[x<-\frac{8}{6}\]
Simplify \(\frac{8}{6}\) to \(\frac{4}{3}\).
\[x<-\frac{4}{3}\]
