-2x-4 > 8
-2x > 12
x < -6

Wait, what? Why did I reverse the direction of the greater than sign to a less than sign? Well, when you divide a negative number in an inequality problem, you need to reverse the sign. I hope the actual solving is obvious. If it's not, just ask for clarification!

The appropriate solution of the given question will be "-6".

The given expression is:

→  \(-2x-4>8\)

By adding "4" both sides, we get

→  \(-2x-4+4>8+4\)

→  \(-2x>12\)

As we know, we will have to flip the signs if we split a negative (-) integer into the issue of inequality.

then,

→      \(x<-\frac{12}{2}\)

→      \(x<-6\)
