76%3C4x-6 Start with the given inequality.


0%3C4x-6-76 Subtract 76 from both sides.


-4x%3C-6-76 Subtract 4x from both sides.


-4x%3C-82 Combine like terms on the right side.


x%3E%28-82%29%2F%28-4%29 Divide both sides by -4 to isolate x. note: Remember, the inequality sign flips when we divide both sides by a negative number.


x%3E41%2F2 Reduce.

Answer:

So the solution is x%3E41%2F2
