Determine whether the inequalities $-4(x+10)>8$ and $x+10>-2$ are equivalent.

A) not equivalent
B) equivalent

These inequalities are not equivalent because their solutions do not overlap. The first inequality implies that $x<-3$, while the second inequality implies that $x>-12$. Therefore, the values of $x$ that satisfy the first inequality (values less than $-3$) do not satisfy the second inequality (because they are not greater than $-12$), and vice versa.
