Solve each inequality: |x+5|>-1

Hey there!

Your possible answer #1

Subtract by 5 on both of your sides

x + 5 - 5 > -1 - 5

Cancel out: 5 - 5 because it gives you a 0

Keep: -1 - 5 because it helps us solve for your answer

-1 - 5 = -6

x > -6

Possible answer #1: x > -6

Your possible answer #2

x + 5 < - (-1) (you had to simplify both sides of your inequality)

-(-1) = +1 = 1

x + 5 - 5 < 1 - 5

Cancel out: 5 - 5 because it gives you a 0

Keep: 1 - 5 because it helps us solve for your answer

1 - 5 = -4

x < -4

Possible answer #2: x < -4

Thus your answers are: x > -6 OR x < -4

Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!
