Lets solve your inequality step by step:

- 2(5x + 1) > 48



Simplify both sides of inequality:


- 10x - 2 > 48



Add 2 to both sides:


- 10x - 2 + 2 > 48 + 2


- 10x > 50



Divide both sides by - 10:


- 10x/ - 10 > 50/ - 10



x < - 5



Answer: x < - 5






Hope that helps!!!! (Answer: x < - 5)

-2(5x + 1) > 48


When we multiply or divide by a negative number, that flips the inequality:


5x + 1 < -24


5x < -25


x < -5


Answer: x < -5
