You can put this solution on YOUR website! -3(x)+4>=-8
Multiply -3 by each term inside the parentheses.
-3x+4>=-8
Since 4 does not contain the variable to solve for, move it to the right-hand side of the inequality by subtracting 4 from both sides.
-3x>=-4-8
Subtract 8 from -4 to get -12.
-3x>=-12
Divide each term in the inequality by -3.
-(3x)/(-3)<=-(12)/(-3)
Simplify the left-hand side of the inequality by canceling the common factors.
x<=-(12)/(-3)
Simplify the right-hand side of the inequality by simplifying each term.
x<=4
