Hello!

I have an Inequality math problem I need help with. If anyone out there is so kind to please show me step by step as to how to solve this problem. Any help is greatly appreciated! Thank you!

5z-6 / 8 < 8

I do have difficulties working with fractions, so a thorough explanation would be great!

A. Multiply both sides of inequality by 8: 5z-6 > 64; B. Add 6 to both sides of inequality: 5z > 70; C. Divide both sides by 5: z > 14. This is the answer.
