5x-10>2x+4
5x-10+10>2x+4+10 [adding 10 to both sides]
5x>2x+14
5x-2x>2x+14-2x
3x>14[subtracting 2x from both sides]
x>14/3 [dividing both sides by 3]
x>4 2/3

I won't solve it for you, but I will tell you how it is done. Just pretend the > is an = sign. Can you solve it then? I mean, keep it as > but solve as if it said =. In this problem it makes no difference. You would only change it if you were multiplying or dividing by a negative, in which case you flip the inequality.
