2x-x-4<3x-8
To find the opposite of x+4, find the opposite of each term.
x-4<3x-8
Combine 2x and -x to get x.
x-4-3x<-8
Subtract 3x from both sides.
-2x-4<-8
Combine x and -3x to get -2x.
-2x<-8+4
Add 4 to both sides.
-2x<-4
Add -8 and 4 to get -4.
x>\frac{-4}{-2}
Divide both sides by -2. Since -2 is negative, the inequality direction is changed.
x>2
Divide -4 by -2 to get 2.
