-3x-4%3C4x%2B10 Start with the given inequality.


-3x%3C4x%2B10%2B4 Add 4 to both sides.


-3x-4x%3C10%2B4 Subtract 4x from both sides.


-7x%3C10%2B4 Combine like terms on the left side.


-7x%3C14 Combine like terms on the right side.


x%3E%2814%29%2F%28-7%29 Divide both sides by -7 to isolate x. note: Remember, the inequality sign flips when we divide both sides by a negative number.


x%3E-2 Reduce.
