See a solution process below:

Explanation:

First, add #color(red)(1.2)# to each side of the inequality to solve for #c# while keeping the inequality balanced:

#-3.4 + color(red)(1.2) > c - 1.2 + color(red)(1.2)#

#-2.2 > c - 0#

#-2.2 > c#

Now, we can flip the entire inequality to state the solution in terms of #c#:

#c < -2.2#
