Answer»

`a LT 7/8`
`a gt 7/8`

`a gt 8/7`

SOLUTION :Begin by multiplying all parts of the inequality by 6 to clear the fractions` -a -6a gt - (24)/(3),` which, when simplified, is `-7a gt -8,.` Divide both sides by `-7,` remembering to switch the direction of the SIGN: `a lt 8/7.` Therefore (C ) is correct.
