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
I hope this helps! :)
