Answer:

x=9

Explanation:

x=9

To find out what is a solution for x<8 you have to plug in all the answer choices for x.

When you plug in -3, you get -3<8 and 8 is bigger than -3, so then that makes it a solution because -3 is less than 8 and when you plug it in it sets the equation right.

When you plug in 7.95, you get 7.95<8 and 8 is bigger than 7.95 by a few but it still is bigger so then it's a solution because 7.95 is less than 8 making it a solution.

When you plug in 4.3, you get 4.3<8 and 8 is bigger than 4.3 so then it's a solution because it sets the equation right.

When you plug in 9, you get 9<8 and that's not right because 8 isn't bigger than 9, setting this answer choice as a non-solution to the inequality.

(Hope you understand this..)
