To solve the inequality, we'll first isolate the variable term by adding 20 to both sides:
-4x - 20 + 20 > -36 + 20
This simplifies to:
-4x > -16
Next, we'll divide both sides by -4, remembering to flip the inequality sign when dividing by a negative number:
-4x/-4 < -16/-4
This simplifies to:
x < 4
Therefore, the solution in set-builder notation is:
{x | x < 4}
Solve the inequality. Write the solution in set-builder notation.
-4x-20>-36
