Answer:
x < -6
Step-by-step explanation:
-2x - 4 > 8
the first step is to add 4 to both sides since we need to get x alone on one side
-2x - 4 > 8
+4 +4
so we are left with -2x > 12
we still need to get x alone so we have to divide -2 from both sides
always remember that if you divide by a negative number the inequality flips!! so instead of > it will be <.
-2x/-2 = x
12/-2 = -6
so the answer is x < -6
