-3b%2F8%3E-3 Start with the given inequality.


cross%288%29%28-3b%2Fcross%288%29%29%3E8%28-3%29 Multiply both sides by the LCD 8 to clear any fractions.


-3b%3E-24 Distribute and multiply.


b%3C%28-24%29%2F%28-3%29 Divide both sides by -3 to isolate b. note: Remember, the inequality sign flips when we divide both sides by a negative number.
