Answer

(a) $ 7\gt 0$ (b) $ -1 \gt -8$ (c) $12\gt -9$ (d) $-8\lt6$

Work Step by Step

Since $4\gt -3$, then; (a) Adding $3$ to each side of the given inequality; $$3+4\gt -3+3\Longrightarrow 7\gt 0$$ (b) Subtracting $5$ from each side of the given inequality; $$4-5\gt -3-5\Longrightarrow -1 \gt -8$$ (c) Multiplying each side of the given inequality by $3$; $$3\times4\gt -3\times3\Longrightarrow 12\gt -9$$ (d) Multiplying each side of the given inequality by $- 2$; $$-2\times4\lt -2\times(-3)\Longrightarrow -8\lt6\\ \text{(The inequality symbol will change as a negative number was multiplied to both sides.)}$$
