Solve x-5>-12.

A. X> -7
B. x < -17
C. x > -17
D. x < -7
PLEASE HELP ME

Answer 1

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.

:Done

Answer 2

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
