Answer:

-8>x

Step-by-step explanation:

-26>2x-10

First we add 10 to both sides:

-26+10>2x-10+10

Simplify:

-16>2x

Divide both sides by 2:

-16÷2>2x÷2

Simplify:

-8>x

This is correct as -7 is the largest whole number that would go against this inequality since:

-26>2(-7)-10

-26>-14-10

-26>-24 ❌

But anything less than -8 will work since:

-26>2(-8)-10

-26>-16-10

-26>-26 ❌ since they are equal.
