Question

Choose the missing step in the given solution to the inequality -x -10 > 14 + 2x
​

Answer 1

x < -8

Explanation:

-x - 10 > 14 + 2x

Subtract 2x from both sides;

-3x - 10 > 14

Add 10 to both sides;

-3x > 24

Divide both sides by -3

The sign switches when divide by a negative number.

x < -8
