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

  1. Divide both sides by -8. Remember that when you divide or multiply 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
