Well, you did everything correctly except the very last step.
-4x%3C32 This is correct and your next step was correct...divide both sides by -4 but remember...with an inequality, whenever you multiply or divide by a negative quantity, you must reverse the order of the sign, so...
%28-4x%29%2F-4+%3C+32%2F-4 comes to x+%3E+-8
