I'm assuming you meant to solve for "x"


-4x-23%3E=25 Start with the given inequality.


-4x%3E=25%2B23 Add 23 to both sides.


-4x%3E=48 Combine like terms on the right side.


x%3C=%2848%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%3C=-12 Reduce.

Answer:

So the answer is x%3C=-12
