-\left(x-1\right)>3
Multiply both sides of the equation by 3. Since 3 is positive, the inequality direction remains the same.
-x-\left(-1\right)>3
To find the opposite of x-1, find the opposite of each term.
-x+1>3
The opposite of -1 is 1.
-x>3-1
Subtract 1 from both sides.
-x>2
Subtract 1 from 3 to get 2.
x<-2
Divide both sides by -1. Since -1 is negative, the inequality direction is changed.
