The solution to this inequality is 4 < x or x > 4. 
In order to solve this, follow the steps to solving an equation with one variable. The steps are below for you. 
2x + 8 < 5x - 4 ------> Subtract 2x from both sides
8 < 3x - 4 -----> Add 4 to both sides
12 < 3x -----> Divide both sides by 3
4 < x

24q^2 / 8q^-3
lets break this down...
24/8 = 3
q^2 / q^-3....when dividing exponents with the same base, keep the base and subtract the exponents. q^2 / q^-3 = q^(2 -(-3) = q^(2 + 3) = q^5
put them together and u get : 3q^5
