-4x%2B6%3E=18 Start with the given inequality.


-4x%3E=18-6 Subtract 6 from both sides.


-4x%3E=12 Combine like terms on the right side.


x%3C=%2812%29%2F%28-4%29 Divide both sides by -4 to isolate x. note: Remember, the inequality sign flips when we divide both sides by a negative number.


x%3C=-3 Reduce.
