x%2B3%2F4%3C7%2F8 Start with the given inequality.


8%28x%29%2B8%283%2Fcross%284%29%29%3Ccross%288%29%287%2Fcross%288%29%29 Multiply EVERY term by the LCD 8 to clear any fractions.


8x%2B6%3C7 Multiply.


8x%3C7-6 Subtract 6 from both sides.


8x%3C1 Combine like terms on the right side.


x%3C%281%29%2F%288%29 Divide both sides by 8 to isolate x.
