The right solution is THIS:

-4x - 6 > 18  ====>  add 6 to both sides. You will get an EQUIVALENT inequality


-4x > 18 + 6,   which is the same as


-4x > 24.


Now divide both sides by the number (-4).  Since you divide both sides of the inequality by negative number,

you MUST change the inequality sign by the opposite one.  So you get


x < ,   which is the same as


x < -6.


It is your ANSWER:  x < -6.

Solved.
