x%2B6%3C3x-10 Start with the given inequality.


x%3C3x-10-6 Subtract 6 from both sides.


x-3x%3C-10-6 Subtract 3x from both sides.


-2x%3C-10-6 Combine like terms on the left side.


-2x%3C-16 Combine like terms on the right side.


x%3E%28-16%29%2F%28-2%29 Divide both sides by -2 to isolate x. note: Remember, the inequality sign flips when we divide both sides by a negative number.


x%3E8 Reduce.
