-6r-10%3C3r-8 Start with the given inequality



-6r%3C3r-8%2B10Add 10 to both sides


-6r-3r%3C-8%2B10 Subtract 3r from both sides


-9r%3C-8%2B10 Combine like terms on the left side


-9r%3C2 Combine like terms on the right side


r%3E%282%29%2F%28-9%29 Divide both sides by -9 to isolate r (note: Remember, dividing both sides by a negative number flips the inequality sign)



r%3E-2%2F9 Reduce

--------------------------------------------------------------
Answer:
So our answer is r%3E-2%2F9 (which is approximately r%3E-0.222222222222222 in decimal form)
