You can put this solution on YOUR website!
-4x + 3 < 15
-4x < 18 {added 3 to both sides}
x > -18/4 {divided both sides by -4 and changed the inequality sign}
x > -9/2 {reduced}

- Whenever you multiply or divide both sides of an inequality
by a negative number, you have to change the inequality sign
