Question

Solve the following inequality.
-10 < 5 + X <-5
[?] < < <[ ]
Enter

Answer 1

Simplify the inequality one by one:

• -10 ≤ 5 + x < -5
• => -10 - 5 ≤ x
• => -15 ≤ x
• => 5 + x < -5
• => x < -5 - 5
• => x < -10

This means that...

• -15 ≤ x < -10

Hoped this helped!

Answer 2

Required solution :

First solving for -10 < 5 + x

⇒-10 - 5 < x

⇒ -15 < x

Now for 5 + x < -5

⇒ x < -5 - 5

⇒ x < -10

Therefore,

• -15 < x < -10
