To solve the inequality, we need to isolate x.

Given inequality

⇒ 2(x + 3) < 4

Use the distributive property and distribute 2 :

⇒ 2*x + 2*3 < 4

⇒ 2x + 6 < 4

Subtract 6 from both sides :

⇒ 2x < 4 - 6

⇒ 2x < -2

Divide both sides by 2 :

⇒ x < -1

Therefore, the solution to the inequality is x < -1.
