+5

-4b/5 > -12

Multiply both sides by 5:

-4b > -60

Divide both sides by -4 

Rule: If you multiply or divide both sides of an inequality by a negative number, you must change the direction of the inequality. However, you do not change the direction of the inequality if you add or subtract negative numbers.

b < 12
