To solve the inequality, we need to isolate x by doing order of operations in reverse. So first we will subtract 8 from both sides.

-4x > -20

Now we will divide both sides by -4. Note that when dividing by a negative number, the greater than sign will flip to a less than sign.

x < 5

8 - 4x > -12

In questions like these, simply look at the greater than sign (>) as an equal sign.

8 - 4x > -12

Now, for equations like these, we're simply just trying to isolate "x," and in order to do this, we must subtract 8 from both sides.

-4x > -12 - 8

Simplify.

-4x > -20

Now, divide both sides by -4.

*Remember : when dividing by a negative number, you always switch the sign*

x < -20/-4

Simplify.

x < 5
