3x - 4 < 8

4 is subtracting on the left, then it will add on the right

3x < 8 + 4

3x < 12

3 is multiplying on the left, then it will divide on the right

x < 12/3

x < 4

3/2 is less than 4, then it's on the solution set

4 is not less than 4, then it isn't on the solution set

4.5 is not less than 4, then it isn't on the solution set

2 is less than 4, then it's on the solution set

The correct options are 4 and 4.5
