-3%28n%2B4%29%3C6%281-n%29 Start with the given inequality.


-3n-12%3C6-6n Distribute.


-3n%3C6-6n%2B12 Add 12 to both sides.


-3n%2B6n%3C6%2B12 Add 6n to both sides.


3n%3C6%2B12 Combine like terms on the left side.


3n%3C18 Combine like terms on the right side.


n%3C%2818%29%2F%283%29 Divide both sides by 3 to isolate n.


n%3C6 Reduce.
