Answer:

a < -3

Explanation:

Given the inequality:


\displaystyle{10a+8 < 9a+5}

Solving a linear inequality is like solving a linear equation, you isolate a-term. Thus, subtract both sides by 9a:


\displaystyle{10a+8-9a < 9a+5-9a}\\\\\displaystyle{a+8 < 5}

Subtract both sides by 8:


\displaystyle{a+8-8 < 5-8}\\\\\displaystyle{a < -3}

Therefore, the solution is a < -3
