What is the solution of ((3 - x) / -4 < 2)?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: (x < 11)

The essential concept is sign reversal when an inequality is multiplied by a negative quantity. Starting with (3 - x)/(-4) < 2, multiply both sides by -4. Since -4 is negative, the less-than sign becomes greater-than: 3 - x > -8. Subtract 3 from both sides to get -x > -11. Multiplying by -1 again reverses the sign, so x < 11. Thus option A is correct. The endpoint 11 is not included because the original inequality is strict; substituting x = 11 gives 2 < 2, which is false. A value such as x = 0 gives -3/4 < 2, confirming the direction. Options B and D reverse the final direction, while C uses the incorrect boundary -5.
