-4(3 + n)> -32
The graph is as follows:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11

- 4(3 + n) > - 32

- 12 - 4n > - 32

- 4n > - 32 + 12

- 4n > - 20

n+%3C+%28-+20%29%2F-+4 ----- Inequality changes from > to < when dividing by a value < 0 (negative value)

highlight_green%28n+%3C+5%29

You can do the check!!

Draw an OPEN CIRCLE on the number-line graph at 5, along with an EXTREMELY BOLD arrow pointing to the left of 5. This indicates that n is any value that is less than 5.
