Solve for x 10-8x>26

$10 - 8 x > 26$

Step 1

Move all terms not containing $x$ to the right side of the inequality.

Subtract $10$ from both sides of the inequality.

$- 8 x > 26 - 10$

Subtract $10$ from $26$ .

$- 8 x > 16$

Step 2

Divide each term in $- 8 x > 16$ by $- 8$ and simplify.

$\frac{- 8 x}{- 8} < \frac{16}{- 8}$

Simplify the left side.

Cancel the common factor of $- 8$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{- 8 x}{- 8} < \frac{16}{- 8}$

Divide $x$ by $1$ .

$x < \frac{16}{- 8}$
