Isolate x: First, we need to solve the inequality for x by isolating x on one side. We start by subtracting 2 from both sides of the inequality 5x + 2 > -5 to get 5x > -7.Calculation: 5x + 2 - 2 > -5 - 25x > -7
Divide by 5: Next, we divide both sides of the inequality by 5 to solve for x. This gives us x > -\frac{7}{5}.Calculation: \frac{5x}{5} > -\frac{7}{5}x > -1.4
Check Values: Now we need to check which of the given values are greater than −1.4. For I. −7, we see that −7 is not greater than −1.4. For II. −6, we see that −6 is not greater than −1.4. For III. 6, we see that 6 is greater than −1.4.
Identify Solution: Based on the checks in Step 3, only the value III (6) is a solution to the inequality 5x + 2 > -5.
