Answer:
8< 5x
Explanation:
We know that the 8 is less than 5 times a number, so we first put 8 <.
From here, we have the value 5 being multiplied by a number, that number can be any variable unless that specifically state which variable to use.
Hope this helps! :)
(Side Note: If you're talking about inequalities this should work, if not then I'm sure others will post different answers.)
