  1. Here it is:

    2x - 5 > -15

    First add 5 to both sides:

    2x - 5 > -15

         +5    +5

    -------------------

        2x > -10

    Then divide 2 to both sides leaving x.

    2x / 2 > -10 / 2

    ----------------------

    x < -5

    Final answer is x < -5.

    Hope this helps. =)


  2.   2x-5>-15

      Here's how to solve for x.

       First you have to transpose, or move -5 to the other side.

        2x-5+5>-15 +5. Notice that we have added 5 to both sides of the equation.

       -15+5=-10.

        Therfore 2x>-10.

        Solve for x.

         -10/ 2>-5.

      Therfore, x>-5

  3. incorrect

    2x>-10

    dividing in an inequality flips the symbol so x is less than

    x<-5

  4. 2x-5 > -15

    2x > -10

    x > -5
