x < -40.5

To find this, here are the steps:

Combine like terms like so:

-4x - 49 > 113

Then, begin to isolate the variable x by adding 49 to both sides leaving you with:

-4x > 162

Then divide by negative four. Don’t forget, dividing by negatives switches the way the sign points so your final product will be:

x < -40.5

Hope this helps!
