-10x%3E-20 Start with the given inequality



x%3C%28-20%29%2F%28-10%29 Divide both sides by -10 to isolate x (note: Remember, dividing both sides by a negative number flips the inequality sign)



x%3C2 Divide

--------------------------------------------------------------
Answer:
So our answer is x%3C2
