Hey there!
Your possible answer #1
Subtract by 5 on both of your sides
x + 5 - 5 > -1 - 5
Cancel out: 5 - 5 because it gives you a 0
Keep: -1 - 5 because it helps us solve for your answer
-1 - 5 = -6
x > -6
Possible answer #1: x > -6
Your possible answer #2
x + 5 < - (-1) (you had to simplify both sides of your inequality)
-(-1) = +1 = 1
x + 5 - 5 < 1 - 5
Cancel out: 5 - 5 because it gives you a 0
Keep: 1 - 5 because it helps us solve for your answer
1 - 5 = -4
x < -4
Possible answer #2: x < -4
Thus your answers are: x > -6 OR x < -4
Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!
