Solve the inequality (\frac{3}{4}(x-8)<\frac{1}{2}(x+2)-5).

Correct answer: \(x<8\)

Expanding the left side gives \(\frac{3x}{4}-6\), while simplifying the right side gives \(\frac{x}{2}-4\). Thus, \(\frac{3x}{4}-6<\frac{x}{2}-4\), which gives \(\frac{x}{4}<2\), and hence \(x<8\). The option \(x\leq 8\) is not correct because the original inequality is strict; \(x=8\) is not a solution. Exam tip: After moving terms in a fractional inequality, carefully check the coefficient and the inequality sign.
