Answer:

Below

Explanation:

2x + 5 > -1

Treat the equality sign (ex. < >) as the costumary equal sign (=).

2x + 5 + (-5) > -1 + (-5) ---- -5 will cancel out the 5 on the left

2x/2 > -6/2 ------ divide by 2 to single out the x

x > -3

Remember to draw an open dot. Draw an arrow from -3 to the extreme right.
