5-3%2810-7a%29%3E4%282a%2B10%29 Start with the given inequality.


5-30%2B21a%3E8a%2B40 Distribute.


21a-25%3E8a%2B40 Combine like terms on the left side.


21a%3E8a%2B40%2B25 Add 25 to both sides.


21a-8a%3E40%2B25 Subtract 8a from both sides.


13a%3E40%2B25 Combine like terms on the left side.


13a%3E65 Combine like terms on the right side.


a%3E%2865%29%2F%2813%29 Divide both sides by 13 to isolate a.


a%3E5 Reduce.
