    They did not flip the inequality

    Step-by-step explanation:

    -x/4 < (x+2) / 3

    Multiply each side by 3

    -3x<4x+8

    Subtract 4x from each side

    -3x-4x <4x-4x + 8

    -3x-4x<8

    Combine like terms

    -7x<8

    Divide by - 7. Remember to flip the inequality

    -7x/-7 > 8/-7

    x > - 8/7
