-%28x-4%29%3C-16 Start with the given inequality.


-x%2B4%3C-16 Distribute.


-x%3C-16-4 Subtract 4 from both sides.


-x%3C-20 Combine like terms on the right side.


x%3E%28-20%29%2F%28-1%29 Divide both sides by -1 to isolate x. note: Remember, the inequality sign flips when we divide both sides by a negative number.


x%3E20 Reduce.
