Question 555226


{{{x+6<3x-10}}} Start with the given inequality.



{{{x<3x-10-6}}} Subtract {{{6}}} from both sides.



{{{x-3x<-10-6}}} Subtract {{{3x}}} from both sides.



{{{-2x<-10-6}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{-2x<-16}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{x>(-16)/(-2)}}} Divide both sides by {{{-2}}} to isolate {{{x}}}. note: Remember, the inequality sign flips when we divide both sides by a negative number. 



{{{x>8}}} Reduce.
