\huge\text{Hey there!}



\mathsf{-12x < 36}


\huge\textbf{DIVIDE \boxed{\rm{\bf -12}} to both sides:}


\mathsf{(-12)/(-12)x < (36)/(-12)}


\huge\textbf{SIMPLIFY it:}


\mathsf{x < (36)/(-12)}


\mathsf{x > -3}


\large\text{It is a(n) \boxed{\rm{o p e n e d}} circle SHADED to the RIGHT of your number line}}



\huge\text{Therefore your answer should be:}


\huge\boxed{\mathsf{x > -3}}\huge\checkmark



\huge\text{Good luck on your assignment \&amp; enjoy your day!}
