Question

4-3x>11

Answer 1

subtract 4 both sides.
Then divide both sides by -3, But that will also result in the inversion of '>' sign

Answer 2

Alternatively you can just move the -3x to the other side of the inequality by adding 3x to both sides and subtracting the 11 from both sides. Then you don't have to remember the rule about dividing/multiplying by a negative.

Answer 3

But it is a good thing to remember.
