1. x + 5 > 14

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

What operation is being done to x on the left side of the inequality?

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

I am referring to what is in red below: \(x \color{red}{+ 5} \gt 14\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its going to subtract -5 to +5

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

The inequality shows 5 being added to x. You want x alone, so you need to subtract 5. The rule is that you must do the same operation to both sides of the inequality. Subtract 5 from both sides of the inequality.
