Answer:

x ≥ -8

Explanation:

Treat these types of inequalities as if they are equations and just solve for x.

X is already alone, so you just divide both sides by -4.

One VERY important thing to remember is to switch the side that the inequality faces when you multiply or divide both sides by a negative number. Since we divided by a negative number, we switched the sign.

x ≥ -8
