-3x-12> 8x + 21
+12 +12
-3x > 8x + 33
-8x -8x
-11x > 33

-11
x < -3
I moved the real numbers to one side and and the variable to the other side to solve for the inequality
I also remembered somewhere that if you divide by a negative number the inequality sign switches.
That is a really good question
