Answer:

-1

Explanation:

You could solve for x... or just plug those values in to see which would make the inequality true

Let's check x=3

-3(3-4)>6(3-1)

-3(-1)>6(2)

3>12 this is false so not x cannot be 3

Let's check x=-1

-3(-1-4)>6(-1-1)

-3(-5)>6(-2)

15>-12 this is true so x can take on the value -1

Let's check x=7

-3(7-4)>6(7-1)

-3(3)>6(6)

-9>36 is false so x cannot be 7

Let's check x=2

-3(2-4)>6(2-1)

-3(-2)>6(1)

6>6 is false so x cannot be 2
