Answer:
C. x > 3
Step-by-step explanation:
As long as you don't multiply or divide by any negative numbers*, you can solve this the same way you would an equation.
3x +2 > x +8
3x > x +6 . . . . . . subtract 2
2x > 6 . . . . . . . . subtract x
x > 3 . . . . . . . . . .divide by 2; matches choice C

* The complete rule is "as long as you don't use any order-changing operations, ...". There are some functions you can apply to both sides of the inequality that will change the ordering. Multiplication or division by a negative number is only one of many.
1 < 2
-1 > -2 . . . . . multiplication by -1 reverses the order
