Response:

4x+24

Subtract 24 to both sides of the inequality.

-20

Divide both sides of the inequality by 4.

-------------------------

-4x-24

Add 24 to both sides of the inequality.

-4x

Divide both sides of the inequality by -4. When you divide by a negative number you switch the inequality sign.
