Answer:

x < 13

Explanation:

We have an inequality and are asked to solve for x.

Inequality work the same as expressions when it comes to solving for x, the only difference is that when you divide by a negative, the inequality sign changes. Which is not a problem.

4x - 8 < 44

Add 8 to both sides :

4x < 52

Divide 4 from both sides :

x < 13
