Answer:

x>-2

Explanation:

So, lets start by distrubuting the -3 to x:

-3x-4<2

Then lets just start solving. First lets add 4 to both sides to get -3x alone:

-3x<6

Now lets divide -3 from both sides to get x alone:

x<-2

There is one thing we must remember, however.

When dividing a inequality by a negative, the sign is flipped.

So in this case, the < is now >:

x>-2

This basically means a solution is any value greater than -2!

Hope this helps!
