My Answer is D
Which of the following inequalities is equivalent to 10 – 2x > 18
-2x >8

since there is a negative we have to change the sign of inequality..

therefore it will be X<4

E for me

10 – 2x > 18
-8>2x
-4>x


If you are not sure you can fastly try: with -6 the inequality is ok, with -2 it is not and with 2 it is not.

E for me as well, I think Sudhir did everything right except when changing the sign he forgot to put the negative sign.

Whats the OA?

Kind of basic question you have after 20" that's true, but it is better to check 20" more to be totally sure, that's my view.

I just say that when questions seem too easy (when you have the answer after 20"), I always find it dangerous because you speed and do not always check your answer given you totally trust your method. In other words, I don't like this kind of fast question.
I can explain it in french if you want :wink:
