-10h%3E75
There are two approaches
Approach 1 (the usual one):
-10h%3E75
Use the principle that when both sides of an inequality
are multiplied or dividied by a negative number the
inequality sign is reversed, and divide both sides by
-10
%28-10h%29%2F%28-10%29%3C75%2F%28-10%29
h%3C-15%2F2

Approach 2: without using that principle:
Add +10h to both sides
-10h%2B10h%3E75%2B10h
0%3E75%2B10h
Add -75 to both sides:
-75%3E10h
Divide both sides by the positive number 10
-75%2F10%3E10h%2F10
-15%2F2%3Eh
Both answers are equivalent.
