Answer

Finally, the solution to the inequality is $\boxed{q < -4}$.

Steps

Step 1 ：Start with the inequality -7q - 8 > -6q - 4.

Step 2 ：Add 7q to both sides to get rid of -7q on the left side, resulting in -8 > q - 4.

Step 3 ：Add 4 to both sides to get rid of -4 on the right side, resulting in -4 > q.

Step 4 ：Finally, the solution to the inequality is $\boxed{q < -4}$.
