Further simplification:
-4x+2 > -4x+2
Both sides are equal so the left side can't ever be greater than the right side......NO SOLUTION

There is no solution for this problem, i.e. there is no "x" such that this expression makes sense. Here is why:
- (x - 2) - 3x > 4 (1 - x) - 2
-x + 2 - 3x > 4 - 4x - 2
-4x + 2 > 2 - 4x
2 > 2 (which is wrong)
I hope this helps.

simplify first: -4x + 2 > 2 - 4x
Add 4x and subtract 2 from both sides, giving 0 > 0. Since this is never true, there is no solution to this inequality. The answer is the empty set!

(-x+2)-3x > (4-4x)-2
(-x+2)-3x > -8+8x
(-x+2) > -8 + 11x
10 > 12x

-x-3x+2>4-4x-2
-4x+2>-4x+2

from the equation we have 1>1
therefore 2>2 and 3>3 and so on....infinity>infinity since
infinity-infinity=infinity > infinity...!
