-2x%2B8%3E2 Start with the given inequality.


-2x%3E2-8 Subtract 8 from both sides.


-2x%3E-6 Combine like terms on the right side.


x%3C%28-6%29%2F%28-2%29 Divide both sides by -2 to isolate x. note: Remember, the inequality sign flips when we divide both sides by a negative number.


x%3C3 Reduce.
