Answer:

x < -12

Explanation:

Inequalities are solved in the same way as equations, with one exception. When multiplying or dividing both sides of the equation by a NEGATIVE number, the direction of the inequality (< or >) changes.

Isolate x on one side:

-3/4x + 2 > 11

Subtract 2 from both sides

-3/4x > 9

Multiply -4/3 to both sides (change > to <)

x < -12
