#x < 11#

Explanation:

To solve, collect the x terms on one side of the inequality and numeric values to the other side.

Simplify right side by collecting like terms.

#rArr-15-2x<-3x-4#

add 15 to both sides.

#cancel(-15)cancel(+15)-2x<-3x-4+15#

#rArr-2x<-3x+11#

add 3x to both sides.

#-2x+3x < cancel(-3x)cancel(+3x)+11#

#rArrx<11" is the solution"#
