To solve this inequality, treat the greater than sign like an equal sign.
Start by subtracting 10 from both sides to keep the inequality balanced. This leaves you with: 3x -12 > 5x
Next, combine your x’s by subtracting 3x on both sides of the inequality. This gives you: -12 > 2x
Finally, isolate x by dividing both sides of the inequality by 2. Since we are dividing by a positive integer, there is no need to flip the inequality sign. This results in: -6 > x
