Question

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

Answer 1

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

Answer 2

A is the anwser

Answer 3

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

Answer 4

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

Answer 5

does that make sense if you need me to explain it more in depth for you i can
