Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define inequality

12 < -3(x + 4)

Step 2: Solve for x

  1. Distribute -3:                              12 < -3x - 12
  2. Add 12 to both sides:                24 < -3x
  3. Divide -3 on both sides:            -8 > x
  4. Rewrite:                                      x < -8

Here we see that any value x that is smaller than -8 would work.
