Answer:


x>(-38)/(5)

Explanation:

Five times the sum of a number and 15 is greater than 37.

Let x be the unknown number

5 times sum of x and 15 is greater than 37


5 (x+15)> 37

distribute 5 inside the parenthesis


5x+75>37

Subtract 75 from both sides


5x>-38

Divide both sides by 5


x>(-38)/(5)
