10-2x%3C12 Start with the given inequality.


-2x%3C12-10 Subtract 10 from both sides.


-2x%3C2 Combine like terms on the right side.


x%3E%282%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%3E-1 Reduce.
