Question 199410

{{{-2x+4>12}}} Start with the given inequality.



{{{-2x>12-4}}} Subtract {{{4}}} from both sides.



{{{-2x>8}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{x<(8)/(-2)}}} Divide both sides by {{{-2}}} to isolate {{{x}}}. note: Remember, the inequality sign flips when we divide both sides by a negative number. 



{{{x<-4}}} Reduce.

Answer:


So the solution is {{{x<-4}}}
