x < - 
add
to both sides
- 3x >
+ 
- 3x >
( divide both sides by - 3 )
note that when we divide/ multiply by a negative quantity we must reverse the inequality symbol
x < - 
For this case we have the following equation:

We apply distributive property on the left side of the equation:

We simplify the left side of the equation:

Different signs are subtracted and the major sign is placed.

On the right side we must take into account that:

So:

We add x to both sides of the equation:

We subtract 2 from both sides of the equation:

We multiply by 3 on both sides of the equation:

We divide by 8 on both sides of the equation:

Thus, the solution of the equation is:
