Choice A is the correct answer. Isolate $x$ and reverse the sign.

1. Subtract 6: $-4x < 16$
2. Divide by -4: $x > -4$ (REVERSE the sign!)

?�� Strategic Tip: Dividing by a negative number flips $<$ to $>$.

Choice B is incorrect because it fails to reverse the inequality sign. Choice C is incorrect because it uses positive 4 instead of negative 4. Choice D is incorrect because it uses positive 4 and fails to reverse the sign.
