Answer: A
Explanation:
To solve this problem, you must isolate the variable on one side of the inequality.
First, subtract both sides by 6. This cancels out the 6 on the left side of the inequality and leaves the right side of the inequality with 48.
Your equation now looks like 8x < 48
Now, isolate the x by dividing 8x and 48 by 8.
*Usually in inequality equations, dividing both sides by a negative value will reverse the sign, however, since 8 is a positive number in this problem, the sign will remain <*
You are left with an answer of x < 6
