Answer:
-8
Explanation:
12<-3 (x + 4)
1. distribute to the -3 to the x and 4 and should get
-3*x = -3x
-3*4 = -12
12< -3x - 12
2. now you get rid of the common factors which is -12 so add 12 to both sides and should get
-12+12=0
12+12=24
24< -3x
3. to get x by itself you will have to get rid of -3, so how to do that is divide -3 to both side and should get
-3x/-3= x
24/-3= -8
-8<x
