5x + (x - 8) > 9/2 (2x - 4)

First, distribute 9/2 to terms inside the parentheses:
5x + x - 8 > (9/2)(2x) - (9/2)(4)

Simplify the right side of the equation:
6x - 8 > 9x - 18

Next, subtract 6x from both sides:
-8 > 3x - 18

Add 18 to both sides:
10 > 3x

Finally, divide both sides by 3:
10/3 > x

So the solution is x < 10/3 or x < 3.33 (rounded to two decimal places).
