Choice A is the correct answer. Eliminate fractions by multiplying by the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of the denominators.

1. LCM of 3 and 4 is 12: Multiply every term by 12.
2. Multiply: $12(\frac{x}{3}) - 12(2) < 12(\frac{x}{4}) + 12(1)$
3. Simplify: $4x - 24 < 3x + 12$
4. Subtract 3x: $x - 24 < 12$
5. Add 24: $x < 36$

?�� Strategic Tip: Clearing fractions early reduces calculation errors. Multiply EVERY term, including constants.

Choice B is incorrect because it reverses the inequality direction. Choice C is incorrect because it might come from not multiplying the constants by 12. Choice D is incorrect because it combines wrong value and wrong direction.
