Question

How do you solve and graph `r - (-5) > -2`?

Answer 1

See a solution process below

Explanation:

First, remove the term on the left side of the inequality from parenthesis. Remember "minus a minus is a p;us":

`r + 5 > -2`

Now, subtract `color(red)(5)` from each side of the inequality to solve for `r` while keeping the inequality balanced:

`r + 5 - color(red)(5) > -2 - color(red)(5)`

`r + 0 > -7`

`r > -7`
