Write an inequality for this statement

Question

The difference of one-third a number and 8 is more than -4

Answer 1

Here is a partial conversion from prose to inequality:

"The difference of one-third a number and 8 is more than -4"

Call the number "X":

difference of one-third of X and 8 is > -4

difference of X/3 and 8 is > -4

You should be able to take it from there...
