Starting with
2 - c > -2
...
Isolate c
-c > -2 - 2
-c > -4
...
Divide both sides by -1 (note the sign change for dividing by a negative)

2-c%3E-2
Subtract 2 from both sides to isolate c
-c+%3E+-4
The key step: since we are multiplying or dividing by a negative number, the inequality sign flips. In this case multiply both sides by -1.
c+%3C+4
Alternatively, another way to think about -c%3E-4 is if you added c and 4 simultaneously to both sides to get 4%3Ec then as we know, putting c on the left gets us to c%3C4-- the same as the first method.
