Answer:

x is greater than 5

x>5

Explanation:

Basically, pretend the inequality sign is just an equal sign for now and divide both sides by 8 to get x by itself.

You are left with 5<x which should be turned and flipped to x>5 for some weird rule someone made up long time ago.

x is greater than 5 is the final result.

So on your board thingie, get the middle top thing and drag/click so it activated in the answer board. Then put the x in the white box and the 5 in the blue box.

8 x 5 is 40 so any number greater than 5 would work for this inequality.
