alright. i'm new at this. i think i know what i'm doing., but. i just need to make sure everything is correct.

3x + 3 < 8x - 7
= 3x-8x<-7-3
=-5x<-10
=x<2

This right?

alright., i'm new at this as well . but, heres my look on things

You did everything correctly til' you got to your final answer.
whenever you divide by a negative your < changes to > .
thats the only problem i see. everything else looks fine to me.

Hope this helps :d
