#x> -9#

Explanation:

#4(x+3)> -24#

We will start by expanding the left hand side of the inequality:
#4(x)+4(3)> -24#*
#4x+12> -24#

Then, we subtract 12 from both sides of the inequality to isolate x's term on the left hand side:
#4xcancel(+12)cancel(-12)> -24-12#
#4x> -36#

Then we divide both terms by 4 to isolate x on the left hand side:
#(cancel(4)x)/cancel4> (cancel(-36)"-"9)/(cancel4 1)#
#x> -9#
