Solve multi-step inequalities, including reversing the inequality when appropriate.
Reverse the inequality at the right multi-step moment
Problem
Solve the inequality: \(-3x~+~8~>~20\)
Big Picture
What this problem is really about
Remove the added eight first; subtraction on both sides preserves the greater-than direction. The reversal happens only at the next move, when both sides are divided by the negative coefficient on x. Keep the strict symbol and the negative boundary value, then test the boundary and a value on the predicted side in the original inequality.
