Answer:

-18 < -x-4 < -8

Explanation:

We start with the initial range as:

4 < x < 14

we multiplicate the inequation by -1, as:

-4 > -x > -14

if we multiply by a negative number, we need to change the symbols < to >.

Then, we sum the number -4, as:

-4-4> -x-4 > -14-4

-8 > -x-4 > -18

Finally, the range for -x-4 is:

-18 < -x-4 < -8
