Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation for line of slope -6 that passes through (0,-2):

y+2 = -6(x-0)

y = -6x - 2

Plug in (g,-8) and solve for g:

-8 = -6g - 2

g = 1

Rainbow [258]

Answer: x>1.2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a number is x.

Hence,

$8x-6 > 3x\\\\8x-6-3x > 3x-3x\\\\5x-6 > 0\\\\5x-6+6 > 0+6\\\\5x > 6\\$

Divide both parts of the equation by 5:
