Explanation:
-(10x + 2) > 5x - 1 - 8x
combine x terms on right side:
-(10x + 2) > -3x - 1
remove ()'s from left side:
-10x - 2 > -3x - 1
add 10x to both sides:
-10x - 2 + 10x > -3x - 1 + 10x
-2 > 7x - 1
add 1 to both sides:
-2 + 1 > 7x - 1 + 1
-1 > 7x
divide both sides by 7:
-1/7 > 7x /7
-1/7 > x or x < -1/7
in interval notation: (-∞, -1/7)
