Answer by jim_thompson5910(35256) About Me  (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
To isolate 's', simply divide both sides by -8. However, remember to flip the sign (this is probably what you missed). Note: when you multiply/divide both sides of an inequality by a negative number, the sign will flip.

So you should go from 2%3C-8s to 2%2F%28-8%29%3Es, which simplifies to -1%2F4%3Es


So the solution is s%3C-1%2F4
