Answer :

A number line from negative 5 to 5 in increments of 1. An open circle is at 3 and a bold line starts at 3 and is pointing to the right.

Step-by-step explanation :

We start by dividing the inequality by 3 to get

8 -4x < 2(x-5)

And we can divide by 2 to simplify further to

4 -2x < x-5

Now, we add 2x+5, which gives

9 < 3x

and then divide by 3 again:

3 < x

Hoped it help...
