Hi there!

I believe your answer is:  

-6, -7, -8

[tex]\boxed{x<-5}[/tex]

Here’s why:  

  • We first need to solve the inequality for 'x' using inverse operations.

⸻⸻⸻⸻

[tex]\boxed{\text{Solve for 'x':}}\\\\-2x>10\\--------\\\rightarrow\frac{-2x>10}{-2}\\\\\rightarrow\boxed{x<-5}\\\\\text{The inequality sign is flipped because we divided by a negative value.}[/tex]

⸻⸻⸻⸻

  • Any number less than the value of -5 would be a solution to the given inequality.
  • Some examples would be: -6, -7, -8, but as mentioned, you can pick any number less than -5.
