#x>1#

Explanation:

First, we subtract #4# from both sides.
#4-3xcolor(blue)-color(blue)4<1color(blue)-color(blue)4#.

Simplify it to be:
#-3x<-3#. We then multiply both sides by #-1#.

#-3xcolor(blue)*color(blue)-color(blue)1 > -3color(blue)*color(blue)-color(blue)1# or change positive to negative and negative to positive.

After that, you will get #3x>3#. Divide both sides by #3# and simplify, then you will get #x>1#.
