X/4 + 6 < x + 8

Ya I just need some help with figuring out this inequality.
The answer I got was x<8
Though I have no clue if that’s right.

X/4 + 6 < x + 8

Step 1: Mult all terms by 4 to eliminate the fraction 1/4:

x + 24 < 4x + 32

Subtr. x from both sides; result is 24 < 3x + 32

Subtr. 32 from both sides: result is -8 < 3x, or 3x > -8, or x > -3/8
