Answer:

-10(x-2)+20x >180

Bodmas

-10x + 20+20x >180

Group like terms

-10x + 20x > 180-20

10x > 160

You divide both sides by 10

10x /10 =160 /10

x =16

Answer:

x>5 1/3 (five and one third)

Explanation:

-10(x-2)+20x>180

Distribute -10.

-10x+20+20x>180

Combine like terms and add 10x.

20+30x>180

Combine like terms again and subtract 20 from both sides.

30x>160

To get x by itself we divide both sides by 30, which gives us a long decimal or...

x>5 1/3
