Solve this for x. i have had 3 tries and can’t get the right answer.

Let's do both. For the first one, we can add 1 to both sides using the property of equality, and get 4x < -12. Then, we divide by 4, getting us x<-3. For the second, we subtract 3 from both sides to get -2x < 4. Then, we divide by -2 on both sides, but when we divide by a negative we have to switch the sign. So, we get x > -2. Hope this helps.

4x-1<-13

Add 1 to both sides.

4x<-12

Divide by 4.

x<-3
