10 < -2x

Answer 1

To solve the inequality, we need to isolate the variable x on one side of the inequality sign.

We can start by dividing both sides of the inequality by -2, but we need to remember that when we divide an inequality by a negative number, the inequality sign flips.

So, dividing both sides by -2:

10/-2 > -2x/-2

Simplifying:

-5 > x

Or, written in a different way:

x < -5
