Answer:

t > -31/5

Explanation:

Hello! Let's solve for t:

2 (t+5) > 4t-7 (t+3)

Begin by carrying out the indicated multiplications:

2t + 10 > 4t - 7t - 21

Move all terms on the right side over to the left side, and then combine like terms:

2t - 4t + 7t + 10 + 21 > 0 => 5t + 31 > 0

Next, solve for t: 5t > -31. Divide both sides by 5, obtaining t > -31/5.
