We need to solve the following inequality:


-10\text{ }\ge2x

We need to isolate the "x" variable, when we do that the number that is multiplying it should go to the other side with its inverse operation, which is division.


\begin{gathered} (-10)/(2)\ge x \\ -5\ge x \end{gathered}

Now we need to flip the expression, so the variable is isolated on the left side. Since this is an inequality we also need to flip the inequality signal. This is done below.


x\leq-5

For the expression to be true x must be less or equal to -5.
