Question

To isolate X what must be done on both sides of the inequality x - 5 > - 10 A subtract 5 from both sides B add a 10 to both sides C subtract 10 from both sides D add 5 to both sides

Answer 1

To isolate \( x \) in the inequality \( x - 5 > -10 \), you should add 5 to both sides.

So the correct answer is:

**D: add 5 to both sides.**

This gives you:

\[ x - 5 + 5 > -10 + 5 \]

Which simplifies to:

\[ x > -5 \]
