Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign:


- 4x < - 11 - 5

Calculate the difference:


- 4x < - 16

Divide both side of the inequality by -4 and flip the inequality sign:


x > 4

Bring the five to the other side of the equation.

Add the double negatives.


-4x<-16

Divide. (flip the sign on account of dividing by a negative number.)
