x < -3
x < -3

x < 3

Answer 1

To solve the inequality \(-8x > 24\), follow these steps:

1. Divide both sides by \(-8\). Remember that when you divide an inequality by a negative number, you must flip the inequality sign.

\[ x < \frac{24}{-8} \]

2. Simplify the right side:

\[ x < -3 \]

So the solution to the inequality is \(x < -3\).

The correct response is:

x < -3
