If we could somehow get this to be 2x minus 10, then we're in good shape. The easiest way to do that is to multiply both sides of this inequality by 2. You multiply both sides of this inequality by 2. Two times the absolute value of something, that's the same thing as the absolute value of 2 times that thing. If I were to say 2 times the absolute value of a, that's the same thing as the absolute value of 2a. On the left-hand side, right over here, this is just going to be the absolute value of 2x minus 10. It's going to be less than on the right-hand side.
