$x > -2/7$

We must simply first the inequality, both the left and right side :)

$10(x + 2) > 2(6 - 9x)$

using Distributive Property of Real Numbers:

$10x + 20 > 12 - 18x$

then we must combine the same terms/like terms
(Using the Golden Rule of Algebra) (Balancing the Equation) :)

$28x > -8$

then divide both sides by $28$

$x > -8 / 28$

reduce to lowest terms,

$x > -2/7$
