Take a look at the explanation.

You would first want to subtract the 8 from both sides to isolate the $x$ $x$ :

$x + 8 > - 3$ $x+8> -3$

You then have this:

$x > - 11$ $x> -11$

I came up with $- 11$ $-11$ because to 'subtract' a number from a negative, you are practically 'adding' the number to the negative.

Therefore, your solution would be:

$x > - 11$ $x> -11$
