3x-8 > 2x-1
You first need to get x on one side of the inequality.To do so, subtract the -8 over to the right side of the inequality.
3x > 2x+7
Next, subtract the 2x.
x > 7
Therefore, when you plug a number that is 7 or greater into the original equation, the left side of the inequality will always be greater than the right side.

Treat an inequality as an equation, except for multiplying/dividing by a negative number.
Subtract 2x and add 8 to both sides.
x > 7
Subtract 2x and add 8 to both sides.
x > 7
