Hello Everyone! I posted this yesterday & no one responded :( Solve for x: 5 − (x + 5) > −2(x + 4) A x > −8 B x < −8 C x > −18 D x < −18

\[5-(x+5)>-2(x+4)\] distribute one both sides first, let me know what you get

A is the anwser

Add 2x to each side then it's x > -8 ?

oh sorry i just ate lol and first you distribute you distribute the (-) which is also -1 then distribute -2 so you get 5-x-5>-2x+4 and five to both sides 5-x>-2x+9 Then subtract 5 from both sides -x>-2x+4 and the -2x to both sides you get x>4
