$\"-2%28x%2B3%29%3E-16\"$
\n" ); document.write( "-2x-6>-16
\n" ); document.write( "-2x>-16+6
\n" ); document.write( "-2x>-10
\n" ); document.write( "x<-10/-2 [Note the change in sign when dividing by a negative value]
\n" ); document.write( "x<5 ans.
\n" ); document.write( "Proof:
\n" ); document.write( "let x=4.9
\n" ); document.write( "-2(4.9+3)>-16
\n" ); document.write( "-2*7.9>-16
\n" ); document.write( "-15.8>-16 \n" ); document.write( "
