To solve the inequality \(-5x - 10 < 15\), we'll follow these steps:

  1. Add 10 to both sides of the inequality:

    \(-5x - 10 + 10 < 15 + 10\)

    This simplifies to:

    \(-5x < 25\)

  2. Divide both sides by -5. Remember that when you divide or multiply an inequality by a negative number, you must reverse the inequality sign:

    \(\frac{-5x}{-5} > \frac{25}{-5}\)

    This simplifies to:

    \(x > -5\)

So the solution to the inequality is \(x > -5\).
