To solve the inequality \(\frac{x}{-3} - 2 < -4\), follow these steps:
-
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:
\[ \frac{x}{-3} < -2 \]
-
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:
\[ x > 6 \]
-
Final Solution:
So, the solution to the inequality is:
\[ x > 6 \]
This means that \(x\) must be greater than 6.
