Divide both sides by -2. We know that since 2 is negative, it'll be < (less than) 0. So, the direction of inequality will change.

Divide 26 by -2..we'll get the answer as -13.

Now, subtract 3 from both the sides.

Subtracting -13 by 3..we'll get the answer as -16.

Divide both sides by 2. We know that since 2 is positive, the direction of inequality will remain the same.

Divide -16 by 2..we'll get the answer as -8.

faster, im not sure why but i know it is faster

the answer is 40.
