Question

Solve the inequality r-(-5)>-2

Answer 1

Answer:

$r>-7$

Step-by-step explanation:

Solving an inequality is similar to solving an equation. To solve for r, isolate it. Whatever you do to one side, do to the other. Remember that a negative and a negative equal a positive, thus one side of the inequality becomes r + 5. Then, subtract both sides by -5 to find the answer.

$r-(-5) >-2\\r+5>-2\\r>-7$
