-20x-30<7x-12
Use the distributive property to multiply -5 by 4x+6.
-20x-30-7x<-12
Subtract 7x from both sides.
-27x-30<-12
Combine -20x and -7x to get -27x.
-27x<-12+30
Add 30 to both sides.
-27x<18
Add -12 and 30 to get 18.
x>\frac{18}{-27}
Divide both sides by -27. Since -27 is negative, the inequality direction is changed.
x>-\frac{2}{3}
Reduce the fraction \frac{18}{-27} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 9.
