Answer:

explain by giving an example...

Explanation:

like suppose lets take x=1...

-2 x 1 < 10

1 < -5

is this right? how can +1 be less than -5...

so it is a wrong equation...

When you divide by a negative number, you must change the sign, or it will give the wrong answer... so here the correct answer should be,

x > -5
