To solve an equation or inequality, you need to isolate the variable you re trying to solve for on one side of the inequality/equation and ita value on the other side.
in -2x > -8 we can isolate x by dividing both sides by -2x so x is by itself
-2/-2 x = -8/-2 A number divided by itself is always 1, so it crossouts abd only leaves 1x ir just x x = -4
