Question 1085238
multiply both sides of the equation by -2 to get x > -5 * -2


simplify to get x > 10


notice that when you multiply both sides of an inequality by a negative number, it reverses the inequality.


for example, you know 4 > 3


when you multiply both sides of this inequality by -1, you get -4 < -3.


if you did not reverse the inequality, you would have gotten -4 > -3 which si not true.
