    B) x < - 8

    Step-by-step explanation:

    -2x - 3 > 13

    Add 3 to each side

    -2x - 3+3 > 13+3

    -2x > 16

    Divide each side by - 2, remembering to flip the inequality

    -2x/-2 < 16/-2

    x < - 8

    B

    Step-by-step explanation:

    -2x - 3 > 13

    -2x > 13 + 3

    -2x > 16

    -16 > 2x

    Swap sides to make coefficient of x positive

    -16 > 2x

    -8 > x

    Same as: x < - 8
