Solve the inequality.

5(a – 5) > 25

a > 30

a > 10

a > 5

a < 30

1 answer

To solve the inequality \( 5(a - 5) > 25 \), we can follow these steps:

  1. Distribute the 5: \[ 5a - 25 > 25 \]

  2. Add 25 to both sides: \[ 5a - 25 + 25 > 25 + 25 \] \[ 5a > 50 \]

  3. Divide both sides by 5: \[ a > 10 \]

The solution to the inequality is \( a > 10 \).

So the correct answer is: a > 10.
