-4X>1/11 NOW DIVIDE BY -4 WHICH CHANGES THE > TO A < SIGN
X<(1/11)/-4
X<1/11*-1/4
X<-1/44
PROOF
LET X=-1/43
-4*-1/43>1/11
4/43>1/11
.093>.0909

-4x%3E1%2F11 Start with the given inequality




%2811%29%28-4x%29%3Ecross%2811%29%281%2Fcross%2811%29%29 Multiply both sides by 11.


-44x%3E1 Multiply


x%3C%281%29%2F%28-44%29 Divide both sides by -44 to isolate x (note: Remember, dividing both sides by a negative number flips the inequality sign)



x%3C-1%2F44 Reduce

--------------------------------------------------------------
Answer:

So our answer is x%3C-1%2F44 (which is approximately x%3C-0.02272727 in decimal form)
