Answer:
x < 7
Explanation:
-8x + 40 > -16 (subtract 40 on both sides)
-8x > -56 (divide by -8) - be careful and don't forget to flip the sign when dividing by a negative number
x < 7 (final answer)
-8x + 40 > -16
-8x > -16 - 40
x < -56/-8
(when changing sides of neg. multipliers, you need to change the sign side, dont fall for that common mistake)
