Answer 16

For this inequality, we need to separate the variable x in one side and the other numbers are in the other side;
\[4-(x+2)<-3(x+4)\]
\[4-x-2<-3x-12\]
\[(4-2)-x<-3x-12\]
\[2-x<-3x-12\]
\[3x-x<-12-2\]
\[2x<-14\]
\[x<-7\]


So the correct answer will be the first choice (A), not (B).


r u guys sure because in my lesson it says ""if u r dividing or multiplying the inequality u switch the signs...?""
This is true only and only if you are dividing or multiplying the inequality by negative number or value. That is it!
