Question 918003: solve each inequality. write solution in interval notation
-2(x-5)>2(3x-2)

-2(x-5) > 2(3x-2)
 -2x+10 > 6x-4
 -6x     -6x
---------------
 -8x+10 >   -4
    -10    -10
---------------
 -8x    >  -14

Here we divide both sides by -8, and since
-8 is a negative number we reverse the > to <

     x%3C%28-14%29%2F%28-8%29
     x%3C7%2F4

Interval notation %28matrix%281%2C3%2C-infinity%2C%22%2C%22%2C7%2F4%29%29
