Answer:

x < 1/6

Explanation:

In the equation 10 – 2(3x – 1) > 6x + 10, start by using the distributive property. Once you've done that, you'd now get 10-6x+2 > 6x+10.

Now, add 10 and 2 togther to get -6x+12 > 6x+10.

Subtract 6x to both sides and subtract 12 to both sides and now you'll get

-12x > -2.

Now, divide each side by -12 to get x < 2/12 or 1/6. Notice how the sign is flipped since you divided by a -.
