The inequality expression 4(x + 6) > -5(x + 5) - 14 solved is x > -7

How to evaluate the inequality expression

From the question, we have the following parameters that can be used in our computation:

4(x + 6) > -5(x + 5) - 14

The solutions with the reasons are as follows

Distribute the terms:

4x + 24 > −5x - 25 − 14

Subtract the numbers:

4x+24>−5x−39

Add/subtract to both sides:

4x + 24 − 24 > −5x − 39 − 24

Simplify

4x > −5x − 63

Add/subtract to both sides:

4x + 5x > −5x − 63 + 5x

Simplify:

9x > −63

Divide both sides of the equation by the same factor:

x > -7

Hence, the inequality expression solved is x > -7
