Collect the like terms

I’m not really sure if your equations is correct, but base on my calculations thats the answer. Hope this helps! :))

Answer 2

Answer:

-2 < x  

Step-by-step explanation:

Question :  5x - 10 <  6x - 8

Answer :

Let us solve now.

Method 1 ⇒ 5x - 10 < 6x - 8

                  -10 + 8 + 5x < 6x

                  -10 + 8 < 6x - 5x

                   =  -2 < x

Method 2 ⇒ 5x - 10 < 6x - 8

                     5x - 6x < 10 - 8

                     -x  < 2

                  =   x > -2  

Both methods are correct.

* You have to remember that, Whenever you are dividing to multiplying both sides of an inequality , if there is a (-) sign in front of x , you have to change the direction of the inequality sign.

Hope this helps :-)
