4 > \frac{-a}{4} - 1

hint to add inequalities (<, >, ≤, ≥), type \less\ or \greater\

Explanation:

Step1: Add 1 to both sides

$4 + 1 > \frac{-a}{4} - 1 + 1$
$5 > \frac{-a}{4}$

Step2: Multiply by 4 on both sides

$5 \times 4 > \frac{-a}{4} \times 4$
$20 > -a$

Step3: Multiply by -1, flip inequality

$20 \times (-1) < -a \times (-1)$
$-20 < a$

Answer:

$a > -20$
