Part 1. abs%282-3x%29+%3C+8 is equivalent to the compound inequality
-8 < 2-3x < 8.
Part 2. To isolate x, subtract 2 from ALL sides to get
-10 < -3x < 6.
To eliminate the coefficient -3 in front of x, divide ALL sides by -3, keeping in mind that the divisor is negative, which reverses the direction of the inequality symbols, or
10%2F3+%3E+x+%3E-2
Part 3. I leave it up to you...
