What is the equation 10-8x>26

Hello there!

10 - 8x > 26

Let's start by adding 10 to both sides

10 - 8x + 10 > 26 + 10

-8x > 36

Divide both sides by -8

-8x/-8 > 36/-8

x < -2
---------------

Why did we switch the sign?

The rules demonstrated that when we divide by a negative number, we must change the sign as well.


I hope this helps!~
