Answer: x> 2.33

None of the answer choices listed are correct.

Explanation:

The inequality can be solved by adding 12x to both sides and then subtracting 10 from both sides:

10 - 12x + 12x < -18 + 12x

10 < -18 + 12x

Now we subtract -18 from both sides:

10 - (-18) < -18 + 12x - (-18)

28 < 12x

Finally, we divide both sides by 12:

28/12 < 12x/12

2.33 < x

So, the solution to the inequality 10 - 12x < -18 is x > 2.33.
