-x-4%3E3x-2 Start with the given inequality



-x%3E3x-2%2B4Add 4 to both sides


-x-3x%3E-2%2B4 Subtract 3x from both sides


-4x%3E-2%2B4 Combine like terms on the left side


-4x%3E2 Combine like terms on the right side


x%3C%282%29%2F%28-4%29 Divide both sides by -4 to isolate x (note: Remember, dividing both sides by a negative number flips the inequality sign)



x%3C-1%2F2 Reduce

--------------------------------------------------------------
Answer:
So our answer is x%3C-1%2F2 (which is approximately x%3C-0.5 in decimal form)
