How do i solve this: - 2x>12 or - 2 (x+1) < - 10. This is a inequality problem

-2x > 12 OR - 2 (x + 1) < - 10

Each inequality is solved separately.

The first one, divide both sides by - 2, when you divide by a negative, you change the inequality sign.

So x < 6

For the second inequality, distribute the - 2, this gives us - 2X - 2< - 10.

Add 2 to both sides.

-2x < - 8

Divide both sides by - 2.

When dividing by a negative you change the inequality sign

So x > 4

The answer is:

x 4
