Answer: The answer is 2 > x.

Explanation:

Hi, to solve this expression we have to isolate the variable:

56-10x>20+8x

First we have to subtract 20 from both sides of the expression:

56- 10x -20 > 20 + 8x -20

-10x +56 -20 > 8x +20-20

-10x +36 > 8x

Then, we have to add 10x from both sides.

10x -10x +36 > 8x +10x

36 > 18x

Finally, we have to divide by 18 each side:

36/18 > 18x/18

2 > x

In conclusion, the answer is 2 > x.

Feel free to ask for more if it´s necessary or if you did not understand something.

Answer:

2 > x is your answer.

Explanation:

Isolate the variable x. Add 10x & subtract 20 from both sides.

56 (-20) - 10x (+10x) > 20 (-20) + 8x (+10x)

56 - 20 > 8x + 10x

Simplify.

56 - 20 > 8x + 10x

36 > 18x

Isolate the variable x. Divide 18 from both sides

(36)/18 > (18x)/18

36/18 > x

2 > x

2 > x is your answer.
