-6x/- 6 < 24/-6
x < -4

I assume this is a homework problem, so I'll not give you the answer. Here's an explanation, though.
Just like an equation, you solve for x. Only remember that when you divide or multiply an inequality by a negative number, you have to switch from < to > or from > to <.

-6x<24
divide both sides by -6 (you need to flip the inequality because it is negative)
x>-4
