Answer:

any number equal to or less than -4

Explanation:

x - 1 < -4

< represents that -4 is a larger number than x - 1. we know that -4 is a negative number, so anything below -4 would be less. x = -4 would be a good solution, but the reality is that any number equal to or less than -4 is the correct answer. I hope this helps!
