I give medals and fan!!
Solve 3 simple problems?
Solve for x: 5 − (x + 5) > −2(x + 4)

Solve for x: −2x + 5 < 7

Answer 1

just those two :)

Answer 2

lets start with the second one.
first subtract 5 on both sides

Answer 3

then divide both sides by -2.
REMEMBER to flip the less than/greater than sign when dividing by a negative number

and now what do you get?

Answer 4

that seems right

Answer 5

is the answer to the first one x>-18 ?

Answer 6

@nikato

Answer 7

umm.. i think you have a typo or something

i got x>-8

Answer 8

5-(x+5) > -2(x+4)
distribute
5-x-5 >-2x -8
and since 5-5=0
-x >-2x -8
and 2x to both sides
x>-8
