-3x-8%3C16 Start with the given inequality.


-3x%3C16%2B8 Add 8 to both sides.


-3x%3C24 Combine like terms on the right side.


x%3E%2824%29%2F%28-3%29 Divide both sides by -3 to isolate x. note: Remember, the inequality sign flips when we divide both sides by a negative number.


x%3E-8 Reduce.
