4-2x%3C3 Start with the given inequality



-2x%3C3-4Subtract 4 from both sides


-2x%3C-1 Combine like terms on the right side


x%3E%28-1%29%2F%28-2%29 Divide both sides by -2 to isolate x (note: Remember, dividing both sides by a negative number flips the inequality sign)



x%3E1%2F2 Reduce

--------------------------------------------------------------
Answer:
So our answer is x%3E1%2F2 (which is approximately x%3E0.5 in decimal form)




Here's the graph of the solution set
