Hi!

I can help you with joy!

No worries, we can solve this inequality easily. :)

First of all, let's use the Distributive Property and distribute 2:

$\rm{2(x+5)>8$

$\rm{2x+10>8$

Now, move 10 to the right, using the opposite operation:

$\rm{2x>8-10$

Subtract:

$\rm{2x>-2$

Final Step: Divide both sides by 2.

$\rm{x>-1$ (Answer)

Hope it helps!

Ask me if you have any doubts.
