I agree with what that person told you. The expression -2(x+10) is equivalent to -2x-20
Multiply the outer -2 with the inner x to get -2 times x = -2x
Multiply the outer -2 with the inner term 10 to get -2 times 10 = -20
So overall, -2(x+10) = -2x-20
--------------------------------------------
So that's how we're able to go from this

to this

The only thing that changes is the left side. The inequality sign will not flip. It only flips if we multiply both sides by a negative number.

Answer:
Exact form: x =
Rounded to the Nearest Tenth: x = 12.9
Step-by-step explanation:
<em>In the right-angled triangle, we can use the trigonometry functions to find the length of a side or a measure of an angle</em>
In the given figure
∵ ∠C is the right angle
∴ ΔACB is a right triangle
∵ m∠B = 57°
∵ AC = 10.8
∵ AC is the opposite side of ∠B
∵ AB is opposite to the right angle
∴ AB is the hypotenuse
∵ AB = x
→ We can use the function sine to find x
∵ sin∠B = 
∴ sin∠B =
→ Substitute the values of ∠B, AC, and AB in the rule of sine above
∴ sin(57°) =
→ By using cross multiplication
∵ x × sin(57°) = 10.8
→ Divide both sides by sin(57°)
∴ x = 
∴ x = 12.87752356
→ Round your answer to the nearest tenth
∴ x = 12.9
Exact form: x =
Rounded to the Nearest Tenth: x = 12.9
