Answer:

x > 6

Explanation:

x = the number

we can write an inequality for this equation:

-3x = product of x and -3

-8 = 8 less than

> -26 = greater than 26

inequality:

-3x - 8 > -26

to solve this, we first add 8 to each side to get:

-3x > -18

then we divide both sides by -3 to get:

x > 6

that's your answer!
