Hello from MrBillDoesMath! 
 
Answer: x < 4
 
Discussion: 
It took me a moment to figure out what you meant! You want us to solve this equation, right?
(x/4) - 8 < -7 => (multiply both sides by 4)
4 (x/4) - 4* 8 < -4 * 7 =>
x - 32 < -28 => (add 32 to both sides)
x - 32 + 32 < -28 + 32 =>
x < 4
Thank you,
