Solve inequalities the same way you solve equations, with one important exception. If in the process you have to multiply or divide by a negative number, then you have to reverse the sense of the inequality.

So add -3t to both sides, then add -1 to both sides, collect terms, and finally divide by the resulting coefficient on the variable. If that division is by a negative number, reverse the inequality sign. If not, leave the sign alone.
