Explanation:

Step 1: Define

Identify

-4x - 2 ≤ 10

Step 2: Solve for x

1. [Addition Property of Equality] Add 2 on both sides: -4x ≤ 12
2. [Division Property of Equality] Divide -4 on both sides: x ≥ -3

Here we see that any number x greater than or equal to -3 would work as a solution to the inequality.
