Answers
GPT 3.5
To solve this inequality, let's first simplify:
-3 - 2 (x + 4) < 5
Next, distribute the -2:
-3 - 2x - 8 < 5
Combine like terms:
-11 - 2x < 5
Now, let's isolate the variable by adding 11 to both sides:
-2x < 16
Finally, divide both sides by -2, remembering to flip the inequality sign since we are dividing by a negative number:
x > -8
The solution to the inequality is x > -8.
