?

mathstudent55 · Answer

OK. We'll solve it first and then we will write the answer in set-builder notation.

mathstudent55 · Answer

Correct.
Division is the opposite of multiplication.
Since x is being multiplied by 4, we need to divide 4x by 4 to get just x.
You need to do the same operation to both sides of an inequality, so divide both sides by 4.

if im not mistaken the answer is 8 right?

mathstudent55 · Answer

The answer is not just 8. In fact it would be -8, but it is not just a number.
The answer is the inequality:
x > -8

mathstudent55 · Answer

Start with the given inequality.
Since x is being multiplied by 4, we divide both sides by 4.
