#j>2#

Explanation:

Note that the magnitude of #3(j+4)# is actually greater than #6#, and that the #<# is only pointing in that way because of the negative sign on the left.

Because of this, if we take the negative sign over to the other side, we must also switch the comparative!

#-3(j+4)<6#

#j+4>2#

#j>-2#
