Solution, -8x>24\quad :\quad \begin{bmatrix}\mathrm{Solution:}\:&amp;\:x<-3\:\\ \:\mathrm{Interval\:Notation:}&amp;\:\left(-\infty \:,\:-3\right)\end{bmatrix}


Steps:


-8x>24


Multiply\:both\:sides\:by\:-1\:\left(reverse\:the\:inequality\right),\\\left(-8x\right)\left(-1\right)<24\left(-1\right)


\mathrm{Simplify},\\8x<-24


\mathrm{Divide\:both\:sides\:by\:}8,\\(8x)/(8)<(-24)/(8)


\mathrm{Simplify},\\x<-3


The\:Correct\:Answer\:is\:x<-3


Hope\:This\:Helps!!!
