5c-4%3E8c%2B2 Start with the given inequality.


5c%3E8c%2B2%2B4 Add 4 to both sides.


5c-8c%3E2%2B4 Subtract 8c from both sides.


-3c%3E2%2B4 Combine like terms on the left side.


-3c%3E6 Combine like terms on the right side.


c%3C%286%29%2F%28-3%29 Divide both sides by -3 to isolate c. note: Remember, the inequality sign flips when we divide both sides by a negative number.


c%3C-2 Reduce.
