Hey there!☺


Answer:\boxed{x>-2}


Explanation:


-3x+2<8

Let's subtract 2 from both sides of the inequality.


-3x+2-2<8-2\\-3x<6

Now divide both sides by -3.


(-3x)/(-3)<(6)/(-3)

Simplify 6/-3. Also remember that dividing a positive with a negative will give us a negative.


6/-3=-2


x>-2

Hope this helps!
