Answer:

x > 8

Explanation:

Solving an algebraic inequality is the same as solving an algebraic equation. One uses the technnique of inverse operations to undo every step in the expression to get the answer. The only difference is that with an inequality, one must remember to flip the inequality sign when dividing or multiplying by a negative. This rule does not apply to the given inequality.

5(x + 2) > 50

/5 /5

x + 2 > 10

-2 -2

x > 8
