You can put this solution on YOUR website! If  or  , then  So, the solutions are:
 
  …=> 
  …=>…. Or  "{x | x is a real number, x < –3}", "Interval notation" writes the solution as an interval  "
  ,  ", and
 
  …=> 
 
  …=>Or  "{x | x is a real number, x < –8}", "Interval notation" writes the solution as an interval  "
  ,  "
