Find the solution set to the inequality, express the solution in set notation 4(x + 3) > 2 (2x - 2) Show your work in vertical form

To solve the inequality $4(x + 3) > 2 (2x - 2)$:

First, distribute on both sides of the inequality:
$4x + 12 > 4x - 4$

Next, subtract $4x$ from both sides of the inequality:
$12 > -4$

This is a true statement ($12$ is indeed greater than $-4$), which means that the inequality is satisfied for all values of $x$.

Therefore, the solution to the inequality is the set of all real numbers, or in set notation:

$\boxed{(-\infty, +\infty)}$
I do not have dollar signs in my original equation. Please redo without the dollar signs.
Certainly! Here is the solution without the use of dollar signs:

This is a true statement (12 is indeed greater than -4), which means that the inequality is satisfied for all values of x.

Therefore, the solution to the inequality is the set of all real numbers, or in set notation:
