Answer:

x>-2

Explanation:

We will need to solve the inequality:

–3x – 4 < 2

Before starting we need to understand 1 rule of inequalities. That is:

We change the inequality sign whenever we multiply or divide by a negative number. That means

< changes to >

and

≥ change to ≤

and vice versa...

Now, let's go ahead and solve the inequality:

$-3x-4<2\\-3x<2+4\\-3x<6\\x>(6)/(-3)\\x>-2$

"x" is the set of all values that is greater than "-2". So that's the answer.

x > -2
