Answer

x < -9

Step-by-step explanation

We need to solve for x

-2x - 8 > 10

Add 8 to both sides

-2x - 8 + 8 > 10 + 8

-2x > 18

Divide both sides by -2 (Note that dividing both sides of an inequality equation by a negative number changes the inequality sign)

(-2x/-2) < (18/-2)

x < -9

Hope this Helps!!!
