Answer:
x > -2
Step-by-step explanation:
First, you simplify both sides of the inequality by combining like terms
Then, you add 6x to both sides in order to isolate x (bring all the Xs to one side)
Lastly, you divide by 8 in order to cancel out 8x solve for x. Since 8 is not a negative number, you DO NOT flip the sign.
