Question

12x > 10(2x-3) -10

12x > 20x - 30 - 10
12x > 20x - 40
12x - 20x > -40
8x > -40
X > -5

Answer 1

x < 5

Explanation:

12x > 10(2x - 3) - 10 ← distribute parenthesis and simplify right side

12x > 20x - 30 - 10

12x > 20x - 40 ( subtract 20x from both sides )

- 8x > - 40

Divide both sides by - 8, reversing the symbol as a result of dividing by a negative quantity.

x < 5

Answer 2

no

Explanation:

12x-20x=-8x

so it would be -8x>-40

and you would divide both sides by -8

and get x<5
