5x - 10 <6x - 8

Collect the like terms

5x - 6x < -8 + 10

-x < 2

= x > -2

I’m not really sure if your equations is correct, but base on my calculations thats the answer. Hope this helps! :))

Answer:

-2 < x

Explanation:

Question : 5x - 10 < 6x - 8

Answer :

Let us solve now.

Method 1 ⇒ 5x - 10 < 6x - 8

-10 + 8 + 5x < 6x

-10 + 8 < 6x - 5x

= -2 < x

Method 2 ⇒ 5x - 10 < 6x - 8

5x - 6x < 10 - 8

-x < 2

= x > -2

Both methods are correct.

* You have to remember that, Whenever you are dividing to multiplying both sides of an inequality , if there is a (-) sign in front of x , you have to change the direction of the inequality sign.

Hope this helps :-)

Let me know if you have any other questions :-)
