Firstly subtract 10 from both the sides...

Now you should divide it by 2 and not (-2)

Divide it by 2..

Answer 4

14/2=7, -2x/2=x?
x>7

Don't do fast

\[\frac{14}{2} > \frac{-2x}{2}\]

Tell me what you will get..

Answer 6

7>-1x

Answer 7

But then the on is implied and I don't need it correct?

Answer 8

Now you must remember one point always in your life:

WHEN WE MULTIPLY BOTH SIDES BY (-1) OF AN INEQUALITY SIGN REVERSES..

By using this point, multiply both the sides by (-1) and tell me what you will get??

Answer 9

x>-14

Answer 10

How??

When you multiply 7 with -1 what you get??

Answer 11

7 > -1x
or
7> -x

all this is really saying is 7 is greater than the opposite some numbers x

you want to get x by itself, so multiply both sides by -1

-7 > x

however this is not right, as we will need to flip the sign to make it as it was before
-7 < x

now it reads -7 is less than some number x

Answer 12

That was suppose to be -7, I was looking at my notes wrong.

Answer 13
