Let's solve your inequality step-by-step.
a − 8 + 15 > 23
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the inequality.
−1/8a + 15 > 23
Step 2: Subtract 15 from both sides.
−1/8a + 15 − 15 > 23 − 15
−1/8a > 8
Step 3: Multiply both sides by 8/(-1).
(8/−1) (−1/8a) > (8/−1) (8)
a < −64
Therefore, the answer is a < -64! I hope this helped! :)
