Answer:


x > 3

Explanation:

Luckily for our brains, inequalities work very similar to equations when solving. Let's get on it.

First, we need to subtract 3 from both sides to isolate the -4x (this means we can then divide to get x by itself).

Which leaves us with
-4x<-12.

Now we need to divide both sides by -4. Here's the thing - with inequalities, when we divide both sides by a negative, the sign flips! So after doing this simplification, our inequality looks like this:
x > 3

And there's your answer. :)
