Answer 1

To solve the inequality 6 - (x - 5) < x + 3, we can simplify it step by step.

Start by distributing the negative sign outside the parentheses:
6 - x + 5 < x + 3

Combine the like terms:
11 - x < x + 3

Add x to both sides of the inequality:
11 < 2x + 3

Subtract 3 from both sides:
8 < 2x

Divide both sides by 2 (or multiply by 1/2):
4 < x

So, the solution to the inequality is x > 4.
