the expression we have is:


4-3x>-14

To solve this, we substract 4 from both sides of the inequality:


\begin{gathered} 4-4-3x>-14-4 \\ -3x>-18 \end{gathered}

Next, we divide both sides by (-3), but we have to flip the symbol > for a <, this is because when we divide by a negative number we have to flip the symbol.


(-3x)/(-3)<(-18)/(-3)

solving the operations:


x<6

And the only one of our options that is less than 6 is option D.5
