Answer:


x>-6

Explanation:


-4x-12<12


-4x-12+12<12+12 (Add
12 to both sides of the inequality to isolate
x)


-4x<24 (Simplify)


(-4x)/(-4)<(24)/(-4) (Divide both sides of the inequality by
-4 to get rid of
x's coefficient)


x>-6 (Simplify, don't forget to flip the sign of the inequality when multiplying or dividing by a negative number)

Hope this helps!
