Find the values of x that satisfy the inequalities. 

### Solving Inequalities

Here are two inequalities to solve. Let's go through each one step-by-step:

**Inequality 18:**  
\(-6 > 4 + 5x\)

To solve this inequality, follow these steps:
1. Subtract 4 from both sides:
   \(-6 - 4 > 5x\)  
   \(-10 > 5x\)

2. Divide both sides by 5:
   \(-2 > x\)

The solution is \(x < -2\).

---

**Inequality 20:**  
\(-12 \leq -3x\)

To solve this inequality, follow these steps:
1. Divide both sides by \(-3\) and reverse the inequality sign:
   \(4 \geq x\)

The solution is \(x \leq 4\).

---

### Summary
- For Inequality 18, the solution is \(x < -2\).
- For Inequality 20, the solution is \(x \leq 4\).

Understanding how to manipulate and solve inequalities is important in algebra and day-to-day problem-solving.
