33-12x%3C4x%2B97 Start with the given inequality.


-12x%3C4x%2B97-33 Subtract 33 from both sides.


-12x-4x%3C97-33 Subtract 4x from both sides.


-16x%3C97-33 Combine like terms on the left side.


-16x%3C64 Combine like terms on the right side.


x%3E%2864%29%2F%28-16%29 Divide both sides by -16 to isolate x. note: Remember, the inequality sign flips when we divide both sides by a negative number.


x%3E-4 Reduce.
