a-2>-5a-6+2a
Use the distributive property to multiply -2 by 3-a.
a-2>-3a-6
Combine -5a and 2a to get -3a.
a-2+3a>-6
Add 3a to both sides.
4a-2>-6
Combine a and 3a to get 4a.
4a>-6+2
Add 2 to both sides.
4a>-4
Add -6 and 2 to get -4.
a>\frac{-4}{4}
Divide both sides by 4. Since 4 is positive, the inequality direction remains the same.
a>-1
Divide -4 by 4 to get -1.
