Explanation:

Step1: Isolate the term with x

Subtract 3 from both sides of the inequality $3 + 8x>59$. So, $3 + 8x-3>59 - 3$, which simplifies to $8x>56$.

Step2: Solve for x

Divide both sides of the inequality $8x>56$ by 8. We get $\frac{8x}{8}>\frac{56}{8}$, so $x > 7$.

Answer:

$x>7$
On the number - line, there would be an open circle at 7 and an arrow pointing to the right.
