Answer
$\ge$
Work Step by Step
The Multiplication Property of Inequality states that if a negative number $c$ is multiplied to each side of $a \le b$, then $ac \ge bc$.
Thus, if $x \le -4$, then, multiplying $-3$ to each side of the inequality gives:
$-3(x) \ge -3(-4)
\\-3x \ge 12$
Thus, the missing inequality symbol in the given statement is $\ge$.
