Question

Is -3 a solution to 2x+5>-5

Answer 1

To figure out if -3 is a solution, plug -3 into the x variable and solve the inequality as such:

`2*-3+5>-5\\-6+5>-5\\-1>-5`

Now, since -1 > -5 is a true statement, this means that -3 is a solution to this inequality.

Answer 2

`2x+5 > -5\ \ \ \ |-5\\\\2x > -10\ \ \ \ |:2\\\\x > -5\\\\-3 > -5\ CORRECT`

Answer: YES
