Answer:

Option B; x > -8

Explanation:

First solve by using algebra,

=> 22 - 2x < 38

  • Subtract 22 from both sides,

=> -2x < 16

  • Divide both sides by -2

=> x < -8

Since you have divided both sides by a negative number, switch the inequality. From x < -8 it would be "x > -8".

Hope this helps!
