Answer:

A.)
x>-7

Explanation:

Solve this the way you would solve an equation: isolate the variable.

Use inverse operations. Add 5 to both sides:


x-5+5>-12+5\\\\x>-7

Since this can't be simplified further, x is greater than -7.

Answer:

A. X>-7

Explanation:

So the equation is

X-5>-12

You add 5 on both sides to get the X by itself. You add it because you have to get rid of the -5 and to get to 0 you would add 5.

Which leaves you with X>-7
