We have the next inequality given:


-3x-4<2

Solve the x variable:

Add both sides 4


\begin{gathered} -3x-4+4<2+4 \\ -3x<6 \end{gathered}

Divide both sides by 3


\begin{gathered} (-3)/(3)x<(6)/(3) \\ -x<2 \end{gathered}

Finally, multiply both sides by -1:


\begin{gathered} (-1)(-x)<2(-1) \\ x>-2 \end{gathered}

Hence, x can take any value greater than -2.

So, the solutions that apply are 0 and 3.
