We begin with the simplification of \(6-4x>3\).
With some mathematical manipulation, we get
\(3>4x\)
\(x<\frac{3}{4}\)
Hence, x<1. So the answer is B.

Given: \(6-4x>3\)
Subtract \(6\) from both sides of the inequality: \(-4x>-3\)
Divide both sides of the inequality by \(-4\) to get: \(x < \frac{3}{4}\) [ since we divided both sides of the inequality by a NEGATIVE value, we REVERSED the direction of the inequality symbol]
If \(x\) is less than \(\frac{3}{4}\), we can be certain that \(x\) is less than \(1\)
Answer: B
