8-3x%3C-7 Start with the given inequality.


-3x%3C-7-8 Subtract 8 from both sides.


-3x%3C-15 Combine like terms on the right side.


x%3E%28-15%29%2F%28-3%29 Divide both sides by -3 to isolate x. note: Remember, the inequality sign flips when we divide both sides by a negative number.


x%3E5 Reduce.
