Answer:

We have two inequalities here:

-3x + 8/3 < 15 (dividing both sides by -3)

-3x < 15 - 8/3 (subtracting 8/3 from both sides)

-3x < 37/3

x > -37/9

and

-3x + 8 < 15 (subtracting 8 from both sides)

-3x < 7

x > -7/3

So the solution set for the inequality -3x + 8/3 < 15 is x > -37/9, and the solution set for the inequality -3x + 8 < 15 is x > -7/3.

The combined solution set is the intersection of these two sets, which is x > -7/3. Therefore, the solution set for the original inequality is x > -7/3.
