7-2(x-4)<5(1-2x) please help

......
I know the left comes out to 15-2x<5-10x what do I do know??

-
15-2x<5-10x
8x < -10
x < -5/4

-
7 - 2(x - 4) < 5(1 - 2x)
distribute:
7 - 2x + 8 < 5 - 10x
15 - 2x < 5 - 10x
add 2x to both sides:
15 < 5 - 8x
subtract 5 from both sides:
10 < -8x
divide both sides by -8, change sign:
10/-8 > x
reduce fraction:
-5/4 > x

- .--

Next is add 10x to both sides of the inequality to cancel the -10x in the right side.
15 - 2x +10x < 5-10x +10x
15+8x < 5
add -15 to both sides to remove 15 on the left side.
15 -15 +8x < 5 -15
8x < -10
divide by 8.
x= -10/8 or -5/4(simplified)

-
7-2(x-4)<5(1-2x)
7 - 2x + 8 < 5 - 10x
8x < -10
x < - 5/4
