They're both right.
The goal with inequalities is to leave the answer/equivalent to the variable. The variable is often (if not always) represented by a letter. The letter "x" is most popular, as in this case.
In 2x > -10, you want to remove the 2 in the left side to leave the value of x. To do that, you would need to DIVIDE BOTH SIDES by 2.
Thus, 2x > -10 divided by 2 in both sides EQUALS x > -5.
Therefore, x is -5.
Good luck, dear. :)

are you looking for solution of the above equation? try to be explicit
2x > -10
dividing both side by 2
x > -5
so all number greater that 5 are part of solution example 6, 7.....
