-2x%2B4%3E12 Start with the given inequality.


-2x%3E12-4 Subtract 4 from both sides.


-2x%3E8 Combine like terms on the right side.


x%3C%288%29%2F%28-2%29 Divide both sides by -2 to isolate x. note: Remember, the inequality sign flips when we divide both sides by a negative number.


x%3C-4 Reduce.
