You can put this solution on YOUR website!
x - 4 >= 8

add 4 to both sides of the eqution to get x >= 12

you solve an inequality exactly as you would solve an equation except for the fact that when you multiply or divide both sides of an inequality by a negative number, the inequality reverses.

this doesn't happen in this problem because you are not multiplying or dividing both sides of thye equation by a negative number.
