Answer:

The answer is x < -14

Explanation:

To solve this question, you have to get the x on one side of the inequality using the addition and subtraction property of equality. So, add 2 on both sides. This gives you x > 2x + 14. Then, subtract 2x from both sides, which gives you -x > 14. Finally, divide both sides by -1 and flip the inequality sign, as dividing or multiplying by a negative number in an inequality flips the symbol. This gives you x < -14, or option 4.
