To solve the inequality \(\frac{x}{-3} - 2 < -4\), follow these steps:

  1. Isolate the term with \(x\):

    \[ \frac{x}{-3} - 2 < -4 \]

    Add 2 to both sides:

    \[ \frac{x}{-3} < -4 + 2 \]

    Simplifying the right side gives:

    \[ \frac{x}{-3} < -2 \]

  2. Multiply both sides by -3:

    Remember that when you multiply or divide both sides of an inequality by a negative number, you must flip the inequality sign:

    \[ x > 6 \]

  3. Final Solution:

    So, the solution to the inequality is:

    \[ x > 6 \]

This means that \(x\) must be greater than 6.
