To solve the inequality $3x - 8 > 4$, follow these steps:

1. Add 8 to both sides to isolate the term with $x$ on the left side: $3x - 8 + 8 > 4 + 8$ $3x > 12$

2. Divide both sides by 3 to solve for $x$: $\frac{3x}{3} > \frac{12}{3}$ $x > 4$

So, the solution is $x > 4$.

Tip: Always reverse the inequality sign when multiplying or dividing both sides by a negative number.
