Help meee I just need two topics done

Answer 1

x > –5

Solution:

Given expression is –5 < 2x + 5.

Step 1: Let us first switch the sides.

⇒ 2x + 5 > –5

Step 2: Subtract 5 from both side of the inequality.

⇒ 2x + 5 –5 > –5 –5

⇒ 2x > –10

Step 3: Divide by 2 on both sides of the inequality.

$\Rightarrow\frac{2x}{2} >\frac{-10}{2}$

⇒ x > –5

Step 4: That is the values of x are greater than –5.

Hence x > –5.
