Hello!
To solve this equation let's replace the > sign for now and make the operation sign = so we can solve for it.
First, we will subtract 8 from both sides. Making it -x=6-8
We will then solve for the right side, giving us -x=-2
To solve for x, we need to divide each side by -1.
When we are doing this, we get the result of x=2.
When we go to rewrite this equation as an inequality, the operation sign will be the opposite of what it originally was
Giving us the answer of x < 2 !
