Question 1054895: Solve the inequality:

-3x%2B4%22%22%3E=%22%22-16

We add -4 to both sides

-3x%2B4-4%22%22%3E=%22%22-16-4

-3x%22%22%3E=%22%22-20

We divide both sides by -3, and since
-3 is a negative number, we must reverse
the inequality symbol:

%28-3x%29%2F%28-3%29%22%22%3C=%22%22%28-20%29%2F%28-3%29

x%22%22%3C=%22%2220%2F3
