Answer:
x > \Large\boxed{-5}

Explanation:

Given inequality


9x+11 < 10x+16

Subtract 9x on both sides


9x+11-9x < 10x+16-9x


11 < x+16

Subtract 16 on both sides


11 -16 < x+16-16


-5 < x


x > \Large\boxed{-5}

Answer:


x > -5

Explanation:

Flip the equation over-
10x+16 > 9x+11

Now do
10x-9x=x

So the equation now looks like this
x+16 > 11

Now subtract 16 from both sides to give you the answer
x > -5
