Answer:

D.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve by simply isolating x:

[tex]-122 < -3(-2-8x)-8x\\-122 < 6+24x-8x\\-122 < 6+16x\\-128 < 16x\\-8 < x\\OR\\x > -8[/tex]

You can check by plugging in any value greater than -8

-122<-3(-2-8(-7))-8*-7

-122<-3(-2+56)+56

-122<-3(54)+56

-122<-162+56

-122<-106
