Explanation:

Step1: Multiply both sides by -2

When multiplying an inequality by a negative number, the direction of the inequality sign changes. So, $x>4\times(- 2)$.

Step2: Calculate the right - hand side

$x > - 8$.

Answer:

; $x > - 8$

To graph on the number line, draw an open circle at - 8 (because the inequality is strict, i.e., $x$ is greater than but not equal to - 8) and draw an arrow to the right of - 8 to represent all the numbers greater than - 8.
