-2x > 10

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I would divide both sides by -2

OpenStudy (texaschic101):

keep in mind, when dividing by a negative, the inequality sign changes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes it does good point I totally forgot that.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A positive divided by a negative gives you a negative. It would be x<-10

OpenStudy (texaschic101):

-2x > -10 -- divide by -2 and change the inequality sign -2x/-2 < -10/-2 x < 5

OpenStudy (texaschic101):

oops...wait..it is not a -10....answer would be x < -5
