$q < 32$ $q<32$

Attack the problem has you would an equality, UNLESS you multiply or divide by a negative number, in which case, the sign needs to be flipped.

$- \frac{q}{8} > (- 4)$ $-q/8>(-4)$

Multiply both sides of the equation by $- 8$ $-8$ so the sign needs to be flipped:

$q < 32$ $q<32$

How do you solve −q8>−4-\frac { q } { 8} > - 4?
