10 - 5x < 6x - 8
We can treat this inequality like a normal algebraic equation.
Add 5x to both sides
10 < 11x - 8
Add 8 to both sides
18 < 11x
Divide both sides by 11
1.64 < x
X is greater than the value 1.64.
Let's plug the number 2 into each value of x to verify.
10 - 5x < 6x - 8
10 - 5*2) < (6 * 2) - 8
10 - 10 < 12 - 8
0 < 4
It's correct.
Now let's plug 1, which is less than 1.64.
10 - 5x < 6x - 8
10 - 5 < 6 - 8
5 < -2
This is not correct, which means that our answer was correct.
