Solve the Inequality for x -3x-4>2

$- 3 x - 4 > 2$

Step 1

Move all terms not containing $x$ to the right side of the inequality.

Add $4$ to both sides of the inequality.

$- 3 x > 2 + 4$

Add $2$ and $4$ .

$- 3 x > 6$

Step 2

Divide each term in $- 3 x > 6$ by $- 3$ and simplify.

Divide each term in $- 3 x > 6$ by $- 3$ . When multiplying or dividing both sides of an inequality by a negative value, flip the direction of the inequality sign.

$\frac{- 3 x}{- 3} < \frac{6}{- 3}$

Simplify the left side.

Cancel the common factor of $- 3$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{- 3 x}{- 3} < \frac{6}{- 3}$

Divide $x$ by $1$ .

$x < \frac{6}{- 3}$

Simplify the right side.

Divide $6$ by $- 3$ .

$x < - 2$

Step 3

The result can be shown in multiple forms.

Inequality Form:

$x < - 2$

Interval Notation:

$(- \infty, - 2)$
