Given:


-3x+2b>8

To find:

The value of x.

Solution:

We have,


-3x+2b>8

To find the value of x, we need to isolate x on one side.

Subtract 2b from both sides.


-3x>8-2b

Divide both sides by -3. On multiplying or dividing an inequality by a negative number, we need to change the sign of inequality.


(-3x)/(-3)<(8-2b)/(-3)


x<(-2b+8)/(-3)

The required inequality for x is
x<(-2b+8)/(-3).

Therefore, the correct option is A.
