Answer:


\begin{bmatrix}\mathrm{Solution:}\:&amp;\:x > 1\:\\ \:\mathrm{Interval\:Notation:}&amp;\:\left(1,\:\infty \:\right)\end{bmatrix}

Explanation:

Expand all intentional values


-8x-4 < 3x-15

Add 4 to both sides


-8x-4+4 < 3x-15+4

Simplify


-8x < 3x-11

Subtract 3x from both sides


-8x-3x < 3x-11-3x

Simplify


-11x < -11

Multiply both sides by -1 (reverse the inequality)


\left(-11x\right)\left(-1\right) > \left(-11\right)\left(-1\right)

Simplify


-11x < -11

Divide both sides by 11


(11x)/(11) > (11)/(11)

Simplify


x > 1

Your answer is


x > 1
