[ Step One ] Subtract 4 from both sides of equation


\bold{-3x+4-4<16-4}

[ Step Two ] Simplify


\bold{-3x<12}

[ Step Three ] Multiply both sides by -1 (Reverse inequality)


\bold{\left(-3x\right)\left(-1\right)>12\left(-1\right)}

[ Step Four ] Simplify


\bold{3x>-12}

[ Step Five ] Divide both sides by 3


\bold{(3x)/(3)>(-12)/(3)}

[ Step Six ] Simplify


\bold{x>-4}
