Answer:

Checkout the image below the explanation.

Explanation:

1. First, let's solve the inequality.

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the inequality.


  • -6x + 2 < 8

Step 2: Subtract 2 from both sides.


  • -6x + 2 - 2 < 8 - 2

  • -6x < 6

Step 3: Divide both sides by -6 and flip the sign.


  • (-6x)/(-6) < (6)/(-6)

  • x > -1

2. Now that we solved the inequality and got x > -1, that means that all values of x are more than -1. It can be represented on the number-line as this:
