OpenStudy (e.cociuba):

2(x + 5) > 8x - 8 2x + 10 > 8x - 8 {used distributive property on left side} 2x > 8x - 18 {subtracted 10 from both sides} -6x > -18 {subtracted 8x from both sides} x < 3 {divided both sides by -6 and changed the inequality sign} *whenever you multiply or divide both sides of an inequality by a negative number, you have to change the inequality sign*
