Choice C is the correct answer. Solve the inequality first.

1. Distribute: $6x - 2 \leq 4x + 10$
2. Subtract 4x: $2x - 2 \leq 10$
3. Add 2: $2x \leq 12$
4. Divide by 2: $x \leq 6$
5. Check choices: We need a value that is NOT $\leq 6$. $x=7$ is greater than 6, so it is NOT a solution.

?�� Strategic Tip: "Not a solution" means finding the value that makes the inequality FALSE.

Choice A is incorrect because$5 \leq 6$ is true. Choice B is incorrect because$6 \leq 6$ is true. Choice D is incorrect because$0 \leq 6$ is true.
