-4x%2B2%3E10 Start with the given inequality.


-4x%3E10-2 Subtract 2 from both sides.


-4x%3E8 Combine like terms on the right side.


x%3C%288%29%2F%28-4%29 Divide both sides by -4 to isolate x. note: Remember, the inequality sign flips when we divide both sides by a negative number.


x%3C-2 Reduce.
