3-x<4x-12
Use the distributive property to multiply 4 by x-3.
3-x-4x<-12
Subtract 4x from both sides.
3-5x<-12
Combine -x and -4x to get -5x.
-5x<-12-3
Subtract 3 from both sides.
-5x<-15
Subtract 3 from -12 to get -15.
x>\frac{-15}{-5}
Divide both sides by -5. Since -5 is negative, the inequality direction is changed.
x>3
Divide -15 by -5 to get 3.
