Answer:

As the x=-2 does not satisfy the inequality.

Therefore, the solution is False!

Explanation:

Given the expression


x-10x+1<\:20+\:5x\:

substituting the value x = -2


\left(-2\right)-10\left(-2\right)+1<20+5\left(-2\right)


-2+20+1 < 20-10


19 < 10

As the x=-2 does not satisfy the inequality.

Therefore, the solution is False!
