-5%282x%2B6%29%3C-15x-20 Start with the given inequality.


-10x-30%3C-15x-20 Distribute.


-10x%3C-15x-20%2B30 Add 30 to both sides.


-10x%2B15x%3C-20%2B30 Add 15x to both sides.


5x%3C-20%2B30 Combine like terms on the left side.


5x%3C10 Combine like terms on the right side.


x%3C%2810%29%2F%285%29 Divide both sides by 5 to isolate x.


x%3C2 Reduce.
