Solve for x: 5 − (x + 5) > −2(x + 4)

[tex]5 - (x+5) \ \textgreater \ -2(x+4)[/tex]
First we work out the brackets

[tex]5- x -5 \ \textgreater \ -2x - 8 [/tex]
[tex]-x \ \textgreater \ -2x - 8[/tex]
Now we add -2x to both sides of the equation

[tex]x \ \textgreater \ -8[/tex]
Hence, the anser is x > -8
