10-2x<6x-6
Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by 5-x.
10-2x-6x<-6
Subtract 6x from both sides.
10-8x<-6
Combine -2x and -6x to get -8x.
-8x<-6-10
Subtract 10 from both sides.
-8x<-16
Subtract 10 from -6 to get -16.
x>\frac{-16}{-8}
Divide both sides by -8. Since -8 is negative, the inequality direction is changed.
x>2
Divide -16 by -8 to get 2.
